I plan on running 8 most of the time. The blitz has a alarm when you run too rich or lean, seems loud, but probably wont overpower the music.
WOW, this is interesting.
This Blitz product was targeted for what?

It seems like you have broken the ultimate code here.
Way to go!!

Hahaha. Well "blitz" is technically german....a german word. I couldnt find a ebc that did everything it did, that was also german, or even euro. Actually, I couldnt find another ebc, that has everything it does at all. Besides not like its engine internals or somethin. Or a whole damn engine. But no, its not a german product, its jap. Damn nice unit tho, best I could find that did everything I wanted.

I'd rather cut the right one off.

I am sure the best v-8 944 you will ever see is Garcia's, maybe you can get him to come to the fest to have some fun with us this year.......

no, I would be concerned with other things way before that happens. Your method is NOT good.

Uh yeah.. More like one in a million.

One last time, you don't tune the way you are suggesting. You don't tune by watching your peak HP and stopping when you have a low hp to boost ratio.. That is pure crazy talk from someone who has never dyno tuned anything, no offense.. Now go back on the CPR project thread and teach me about aerodynamics.

It doesn't make much sense to crank up the boost on a k26 to 21psi for only 1hp/psi no matter how perfect the AF is, how knock free you are of etc.

I certainly reach the end of MY turbo's efficiency range before anything else becomes a problem.

Maybe it's possible that i'm not an idiot, and I'm just being misunderstood here? Or maybe I am an idiot and I don't know it...

I'm not claimin that this is a way to tune your car, only saying that if you DO encounter that (Like you easily can on a small turbo) There is no reason to turn up the boost 5psi and stress the turbo more for a measly 10hp or something. Common sense right there.
