Looks good and I bet its a completely differant car now!... I am kinda suprised Ray did not pull the gate off to check it out but at that point he may have been thinking of 10 differant things it could have been..

were you able to retain your A/C system with this kit. Sorry if this has already been covered.

My A/C has been removed for a long time.

I don't see why the kit would interfere though, I would think it has more to do with the Intercooler and intake piping arrangement.

I have a relocated battery as well.

The AC would still work with this kit. You might have to get creative with the condensor but other than that it would work without issue.

Each run is in 3rd Gear from around 3000rpm

(1) Chart_WGonly.JPG: EBC off (.9 BAR Spring)
(2) Chart_EBC_HighGain.JPG: EBC on, and the GAIN setting high (overboosted)
Imag/attachmentid=3060&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1225212318/imag

(3) Chart_EBC_Current.JPG: EBC on, and GAIN adjusted to desired boost

After adjusting the GAIN settings, the best spoolup achieved was around 5300rpm. Running on the WG only did not appear to improve spoolup.
As a side note:
If you look at the above maps your knock level going into boost is higher than I am comfortable with. I would take a little timing out. On later maps you seem to have dropped the leading timing to 15º from 19º.

I wouldn't change a thing on your map. Ray tuned it. Nobody on this board or any other is more qualified than he is. If you have an issue, call him, not these people on here.

Ernie, this was a learning moment not meant to impugn anyone's reputation especially Ray Wilson.

For those of us who want to learn from Ray... you notice that in the early runs he had 19º leading and approximately a 62 knock. Ray then dropped the leading to 15º and the knock lowered into the twenties.
