Your logs are very difficult to read in that format. If you open the log file using notepad, select and copy all of the text and then paste into your forum message window with code tag at the start and /code tag at the end (inside square brackets), it will make it much easier to read.

From what I can see in the block 32 log, you don't have a boost leak. Mine was quite erratic with the leak and rock solid when repaired. Yours shows no deviation and neither do your block 31 Lambda factors, although there is a lot of correction in the second lambda reading.

What remap are you running? Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

Its a danish remapper called E n t e c h and its the stock exhaust

I definitely don't think you have a boost leak mate. To my mind it looks like its running a bit lean but its hard to tell because of the format of your logs. Can you post them up either as .csv files or wrapped in code tags?

I dont quite understand? They are converted to .csv files?

Yes, much better.

If you look at your group 031 log, the fuelling doesn't look right to me. That number should decrease as revs increase, ie, it should start to run a higher fuel to air ratio as the engine revs higher.

As I said, I am no expert and there are others here who know far more than I do. As an uneducated guess, I would say that your map is running the car too lean. I'll ask Dave to have a look as he knows far far more than I do. I may have this completely upside down.

too lean under boost.. damaging potential lean in fact if the readings are true.. request is also lean so I would not want to run this car until thats fixed personally.

0.8 is what I would want to be seeing under boost, nothing beginning with 0.9

has it always been like this?

So even the lowest value is too much??

Here's a log giving you an example of better fuelling.........

Does not look much different! More questions!

Could this be a bad map? I've had the "pressure drop between dv and turbo" lots of time, every ****ing morning, cold start etc. which pointed at a bad map!

Is it correct understood that lambda 1.0 is middle, below = rich on fuel, above = lean on fuel?
Is the car driveable if I skip the "boost"?

Really dont know what to do, might talk with my remapper.
