    Gotcha. Yea if you take enough timing out down low where you don't want to be building boost, you should be alright without knock control.
    Also why I plan to do the trans gear timing correction map for added safety in higher gears where you might forget to downshift or something

    Plasti-dip? :D

    Also, is 1st Gen white better than 2nd Gen white? I think it may be. Considering that I have two in my proximity, and the 1st Gen's looks better than the 2nd's.

    I've got a bit more control over where my boost occurs and how much occurs too thankfully. But as of right now for safety I pulled a degree out in all of the positive pressure cells but I don't think I needed to. I'm, still sitting at 17-19* at WOT at 6psi.

    I hope we can all figure out the transient response, that was one of the biggest reasons to leave the fic.

    It shouldn't be too hard. For me, it is just having the time to focus on that. I'm sure one of us will.

    Good to know. I do have the manual boost controller to possibly close it up a little more but really I'm okay with it being super conservative at the start. Maybe get some MPG back.

    same haha, just awful. But I'm having a lot of fun. It doesn't have a hard time keeping the 35s and heavy old truck wound up to 85mph but it certainly doesn't mind drinking the fuel down.

    Exactly, I find that is where I appreciate the power the most is on the freeway. Cruising at speed is much easier and then passing power or going up a grade the power is there when needed. I too have a manual controller on the way, planning to turn it up a pound or so.

    My tune is just peaking at 4psi right now since I'm waiting on the final parts of my intercooler setup. But even so it is more powerful than I would have expected and compared to a supercharged truck running 6psi on smaller tires it feels like I have tons more HP on tap.

    The speed limit on I-15 around me is 80mph with lots of hills so having a little more power on hand will be lovely. The altitude makes it feel pretty gutless and I'm only on 235/85-16's

    Saw this on FBook, so has to be true. Don’t think these made it stateside as this was on a Hilux 3rz. Allows for adjustment of idle fueling. I didn’t see it on my made in Commiefornia 1999 model. Said to be coming out of the same wiring loom as MAF. Unless they have a different ECU but I assUme that during closed loop idle it would compensate. Although I had an injector isolator unseat and at idle I’d get a lean code. Clear it while moving it it’d never come back. Idle a minute or two and it’d pop back up.
