I just got this 20g installed and i have my tune out of wack. my wb reads .7 off from dsmlink and it it very confusion trying to stop and figure out how much to go up and down on the fuel sliders and boost est off and some knock is it related to maf comp ? any advice would be greatly appreciated....
 
You can't really go by boost est. It's estimated. Check your timing, your boost gauge, and trust the gauge, not what DSMlink says your wideband says. You may need a buffer between your wideband and link, but even that isn't perfect. I got the AEM and the buffer, but link still shows my wideband .2 leaner than it is. I run 10:1, but link always displays it as 10.2:1.

Did I mention, check your boost? I had some crap in my boost controller the other day. I was looking at all that knock in third gear, and didn't even notice my boost was going out of control. If all else fails, try colder plugs.
 
What wideband do you have?

If it's the AEM UEGO, Either (1) get used to it (2) buy the buffer and hope that helps (3) Buy a better (Programmable) wideband.
