Hmm, fair enough, maybe my VF28 is running to the absolute max then?? as basically its the same set-upo as yours, unless due to the TMIC its not cooling thr charge enough to allow a higher boost :?: :?

What injectors do the V3's have??

Oh oh, fiddling with the FC is bad news :D

The PFC knock readings are taken from the OE knock sensor so they're true as far as the ecu's concerned.

Nice thing about the commander is, it holds peak values until the ignition is switched off. That means you can go back into the menu to display peaks for all the measured sensors. Top speed, RPM, Knock, inj. duty, all very usefull to know.

740s sounds a big jump from 440s? I went to 550s first but JGM knows his stuff. I think my VF23 topped out at 1.4 bar too but it's a good lively turbo on the 2.0L.

All sounds good Trev. Give those pesky Evos some problems on Sunday :D

Yeh, I like the Power FC, but usually switch the car off before looking at the values :roll:

I was geting knock values of 50 odd on Sunday in the heat, as when sitting in the queue the intake temps were muchos high, so I ended up turning the boost down, would I of been better off for performace retarding the ignition a couple of degrees??
