We also switched to manual boost controller for more stable consistant boost. Several people mentioned they can never get the 1.6L Link Electronic Boost controler to work right. Jeremy did not seem shocked. He said the 1.8L has not had any problems, but there have been some problems with the 1.6L

? I thought you had a '94 w/ 1.8L? I've been thinking about going to a manual boost controller, because this is the one area I can't seem to get tuned just right. As soon as I think I've got it from testing in 3rd gear, then I go to 5th and boost and the boost is wabbly.

I'd just like to look at the maps and datalogs for comparative purposes. Just to see how a pro tunes vs. my tuning.

Can't even really compare 1.6 and 1.8 maps. Have you done any datalogs?

I just kept reading over and over MERV's writeup he did a few years ago.

That gave me a very good start at hitting the proper braking points and remembering to late apex a few corners.

Thanks MERV!!

Great job, Screw! Glad the writeup helped. 27's is plenty quick, so I'm not surprised you whooped up on the 'vettes. I would love to have that BEAUTIFUL yellow 2006, though!

I thought of you once, while I ws at Laguna Seca, wondering how it was going, but then we finally got open track time in the RT2000's and you faded from my mind....... I'm still smiling :)

Not sure I can compete for the "Mind of Merv" with the RTs in the house.

God, I love it when a Miata tears a Corvette a new ::Bum::

I figured out one of the weird sounds in the suspension. The lower shock bolt on the drivers side front shock was loose. Thankfully, there were not a lot of laps in the race. That would have been bad.
