I just modified my tune to finally take advantage of my 52lb injectors and turn up the wick with regards to boost.  I adjusted all of the boost maps that I felt were necessary (simplifying corrections such as IAT, broading LDR limits, etc) and yet boost spikes to maybe 18psi falling almost immediately to 7-9psi and then holding to redline.  I am at a loss as to what could be causing it. 

Please take a look and see if you can catch anything that may be causing this. From everything I can gather boost should be hitting around 23psi as dictated by LDRXN, and KFMIOP should be modified so that there are no unnecessary torque interventions. 

Mods:
K04's
3" Downpipes with no Cats
SSAC catback
034 motorsports 85mm maf housing
Hitachi sensor
K&N Panel filter
710N DV's
52lb EV14 injectors


Any help?

Haha, did you really?  It just showed up today and fired up great just as I had hoped my tune would.  I tweaked fueling a bit to get trims in check, but boost ultimately is not where it needs to be.  SUCKS, as I was desperately trying to take it to the track tonight for a big alumni weekend and show up a lot of friends. 

I don't have any logs currently other than VCDS, which has an ungodly terrible sample rate.

Don't bother doing any tuning until you have a proper logging setup.

Much easier to see what is going on than to dig through our bin and guess

Yes, of course! Digging a bin file maybe possibly useless unless you see whats going on with the variables while driving.

I will get on it today.  What parameters would you suggest would best help capture what may be going on?

I hope you don't mind, but I looked at your file. KFLDHBN needs to be increased. I'd bet that's holding you back.

FYI, I don't think that that file's safe at all. If you ask me to critique it I will.

Feel free to critique, I'll never learn unless I get feedback from those who have done this before.

BTW, you may be on to something with KFLDHBN, those values are completely stock, which would be extremely limiting for sure.

I have tuned MANY ecu's over the years, the ME7 just is another creature in and of itself for sure.  It's been a steep learning curve trying to wrap my head around a different way of thinking.  Please feel free to let me know your thoughts, I have fairly thick skin and understand that I left many things more widened than they could be when optimized.

I'd pull about 6 degrees of timing at high load/rpm points, I forsee MASSIVE cf's if not. Start conservative, dial it in. That, and unless the maf is underscaled I forsee limp. I'll look the rest over shortly!

I'll try to take it out and get some actual ME7 logger logs after work today.  FWIW KFLDHBN was the trick, I need to dial it back a fair bit and begin slowly making it more aggressive.

Took a quick log today.  Boost is hitting just as I had requested, no limp mode, MAF maxes around 344g/s, with knock values reaching around -6 degrees at 5000rpm.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

requesting too much boost too soon; you might throw positive deviation

you are over boosting past MAP limit .. probably need to adjust i-limit

your requested AFR is ridiculously rich .. adjust BTS

you are requesting too much timing up top. as boost comes down, that might fix itself.
