Hmm. In one of your logs, your battery voltage seems super low... 13.3 v... maybe alternator/battery/electrical?

Bad things seems to coincide with crossing 13.5 volts

I actually have a brand new alternator, i was only getting 12.7 v -ish charge previously.
I think 13.5V is acceptable with all the electrical stuff on and two walbro 450lph e85 pumps
going. I don't see how voltage could relate to this.

How old is the battery? Can't hurt to try a new one. It isn't as if you have any other clues right now... 13.3 is pretty low

Could you check some other car's logs in case you have them handy?
I wonder about the voltage there.

im generally seeing 13.7 ish at the lowest

But very few of my logs have ub, so I don't have a good representation.

My battery voltage drops between 12v and 13v at full boost. No issues here.

So I went crazy today and did two things.

#1 run the car without intercoolers, quickly bypassed them (no pictures sorry, i forgot to take 'em)

I saw a sudden overshoot of boost on ramp up, so I had to fix wgdc to 50% to see what's up and I noticed
that there is basically no surge at all at 1.6bar of boost, I stopped at 6k rpm because I knew IATs will be super high, well for sure
they were. 100C at 5.5k RPM and ECU pulling timing down to 2 degrees... thank you E85. Wink

Then I figured I have to try something else. I remembered from Flyboy's testing that the OEM RS4 intercoolers
flow better than the ERs, well the only problem is that I only have one handy, the driver side.
... but hey I have a set of C5 RS6 intercoolers which are GIGANTISCH (ref.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WSkKUjizxU).
Since I did not have enough silicone couplers for doing both sides with the RS6 coolers,
I did the driver side with the RS4 and the passenger side with the RS6 cooler.
I think I could not fit both RS6 anyway, they are really huge.... I mean it.
Don't laugh at me, this is eastern european style.

I also did a reference run with the ER coolers an hour before I installed these here are the results.
First is the ER then the RS6-RS4 combo.

What do you guys think?
