If we start breaking this down, is HBN an issue at this point? In Flyboy's last log (me7log_20141016_214741) I don't see HBN intervening. The corrected load follows rlmxko so it's most likely the KFTARX map, correct? Do we want to modify that map to at least keep our requested boost at lower temperatures? We should probably log frxta_w to see what it's doing. Even at stock boost levels I've had this cause throttle cut on cold days.

The last log that I saw did have intervention from KFLDHBN. Maybe I missed the latest.

KFTARX can't cause throttle cut as it just limits desired load. I would just set it to all 1.

It can cause TC if it gets cold enough to cap the load request low enough.

Even with a completely flat KFTARX, ftbr will rise with a falling tans, causing load request to drop.

Conversely, even with flat KFTARX, ftbr will fall with a rising tans .....

I'll try to dig up a log and post tomorrow.

Here are some graphs showing the throttle cut due to drop in IAT. This was in 3rd gear (TIP).

Am I reading that correctly, IAT around 0 deg. C?

Definitely something else going on.

Look at specified and correct load.

Looks like req boost is falling below wg pressure, and the ECU is using the throttle to modulate boost.

I don't want derail things here too much. I noticed the car was surging under certain conditions. After logging, it appeared that the initial drop in IAT dragged down the requested load via the load correction factor for IAT. I ended up setting the lower temp part of the KFTARX map values to 1 and the car ran better. This was almost 2 years ago, so I haven't thought about it lately. I'm open to suggestions. I'm not a tuner. I'm just a guy who has dabbled in tuning my own car. I've uploaded the log file in case someone is interested.

Yes, it was January in Massachusetts.

I'm actually not surprised. KFTARX might not be the best place to fix this... but until I completely figure out the temp correction in the load->boost calc path, it is the best we have.

Note that a COMPLETELY flat KFTARX will still result in a lower req boost in cold weather, and more req boost in hot weather (for a given load request).

Did you take a look at LDIATA? Is it all 1 as well?
This map will bump your boost in warm weathers and lower in cold.

The spike and sharp drop in target boost pressure don't look related to rlmax_w.

What does rlsol_w look like?

This is only for I-limit.

Absolutely wrong.

LDIATA is there to compensate the PID for changes in steady state boost request due to temps.

It does NOT change requested boost.

Correct.
It changes actual boost.
