Well I installed a 190 walbro this weekend. I drove the car around a bit while logging.
I have an issue with boost creep, boost is set to 10 psi yet creeps to 18-19 at 6k then drops back to 17ish by redline.

I noticed my injector duty cycles are much higher than they should be. Even when I short shift by the time boost reaches 16-17 psi (which is where I will eventually set it to with my setup right now), I have no knock, which is great, yet my IDC's are too high. At like 5500 rpm in 2nd and 3rd, my IDC's are at like 105-108%?? I know with the boost I am running and on the stock 14b, my IDC's should not be that high.

What could be causing me to have such high duty cycles?? Boost leaks? I am pretty sure I have at least one on my intercooler outlet pipe.

Thanks,
Shane

Boost leaks will increase your IDC but it's still possible you for to be running out of injector @ 16 psi on the 14B.
