I read and followed several guides and set what I thought was an accurate model of the stock tune. I am not running any sort of fuel upgrades yet and I have my boost turned all the way down. I am experiencing boost creep from the exhaust upgrade but I dont go WOT ever just because of that and the fact that I am still on the mirage gt fuel pump. I have a walbro 255 just havent installed it yet. Im just trying to get the car in a somewhat driveable state since its my transportation when it rains. I went on a 10 minute cruise and looked at the log and saw some seemingly high amount of knock at low boost and I am experiencing stallouts when coming to a stop. Not sure if i have my "stock" tune wrong. any help is appreciated.
