alright well, i can get my stft down to damn near 0%. from 1k to 3200. then when i get to 4 it shoots way up there to like -20 so i had to turn my settings way down from what the baselines are.
does this look right
1000 is -7. 2000 is -7. 2200 is -9, 3000 is -14, 3200 is -15, but like i said when i get to 4000 i turn my safc to -10 and it gets it as close as zero as i can get it. as well as my ltft.
this bad or anything??

also when im free reving my stock oil pressure go way up to the H, right where the line is on H. whats up with that shit!!!!!!!
 
well now heres the thing, i take it for a ride and my boost reacher like 12psi and then my car starts boaging down, (im gunna check all my IC couplers to make sure they are tight, and also to connect my intake to my turbo i used a coupler from home depot, 3 inch to 2 inch, i cant find em anywhere else, but everytime i check it its coming lose) that could be causing this?

also, my vaccum is going down to the 20's when i let off the gas. its just bouncing around,

and when im driving i noticed that my stft keeps bouncing around too, goes from the -'s some times to the +'s. shits messed up man
 
Your STFT will bounce around during normal drives. This is completely normal, to a point. If you see if fluctuating from -20% to +30% then there is something not right. But to move a couple % in either direction is normal. Having the STFT and/or the LTFT not exactly at zero will not result in the car driving any differently. The point is to give the SAFC the maximum adjustment range. Example: You decide you aren't going to do anything about the FT's, you are just going to start tuning. If your FT's are not close to zero, you have now removed part of the SAFC's adjustment range (maximum of + - 50%).

I noticed you said that your car is "bogging down" on acceleration. Did you transfer your base settings from the low throttle table to the hi throttle table? Also where did you set your lo and high triggers.

After further review of your post, I would try to take care of that intake problem and also do a leak test. Your lo throttle settings, with 650cc injectors, should be around -31% (as a baseline).

I know this post is a little choppy, but I am too lazy to rewrite it ;)
 
Normally you transfer the lo throttle setting onto the high throttle maps for use as a baseline correction. For most people with 650cc injectors that would be in the 30% range. I'm reluctant to tell you to do that, because of your FT's being so "wacked out". What do your O2's do at idle? At deceleration? Did you fix your intake problem? Also, have you done a leak test lately?
