I haven't noticed this with my UTEC, but I really haven't taken the car down low too much.
Ed tweaked the final map a bit to give slightly higher wastegate duty cycles only at higher elevations. He emailed it to me and I reflashed the ECU this morning with it. Seems pretty good so far, but I'm still seeing a tiny dip from 17 to 16 or 15 on some pulls and I'm not hitting target boost in 1st. I only get about 13-14 most 1st gear pulls. Ed thinks the map may require a little tweaking when he comes up next month, but he wants me to describe what's happening with the boost in better detail. He hasn't given up on tweaking the map a little bit at a time and emailing it to me.

Anybody with a video camera feel like going for a ride tonight?
