If you have all of that stuff on your car and you dont know whether or not your car is running lean...... :barf: ......im assuming you bought the car this way? First off, what are your egts when you're at peak boost? How many psi are you attempting to run? And lastly, before you do anything, BUY A LOGGER or atleast a wideband. Get back to me/us, we'll help you out. :thumb: :talon:
 
i dont have a logger and i have no clue what one is. but yes i did buy the car like this and i dont have a egt gauge i have a ext temp gauge and a boost gauge. right now my boost is set on 16 and my ext tem gets really hot fast thats about it but i viewed that link that someone left and i dont know what its talkling about for fuel trims and those things.

Do not touch the safc. You have no idea how to use it, And you do not even know the basic's about tuning. Please pay a shop with a dyno to do it, Or someone that knows what they are doing.
 
Or, instead of having someone else do it, how bout you just turn the boost back to stock, buy a logger from www.dsmloggers.com, and go on vfaq.com and do A LOT of research before you touch anything else. What is a ext gauge? I've never heard of it but then again i just have a logger and a boost gauge so....Get back to us with anymore questions, but seriously, turn the boost down, or 0 out the afc
 
an ext is "external temperature" gauge for your wastegate also how do i zero out the safc? Also i live in a high altitude area whch is called lake tahoe and i travel down to sea level every week. The guy that said that he will tune my car said that the safc wont work because hell tune it for this high altitude and once i go to sea level my engine could blow. So he said get the aem ems but its really expensive. is this all true?? or is there a setting someone has that i can put on the safc with my setup that someones knows?
 
Do not zero out the afc!!!! do not touch it at all! You need to take it to a shop and have it dyno tuned PERIOD. with those injectors, you cant just zero out the afc. For the time being until you get it to a shop that is farmiliar with DSMs, do not boost all around town all day.

P.S. DO NOT touch the AFC!!
