My boost dropping off from target from 4k RPM on. I can see wastegate % is relatively low. Do you guys typically increase wgdc base and adder to close the wasegates more and hold higher psi closer to target or adjust PID !?

Thanks

I'd add 10% to the base and see how it holds. Load never hits target on that log but there's plenty of headroom

Yes. This is what I do to get ~22-23 psi boost @ 4500 prior to taper (stock inlets) with WOT from stockers. WGDC is 99%...they haven’t blown yet after all these years!

What load target do you run for 23 psi ?

Do you also expend your wgdc y axis . I can see x axis is maf request and it needs to be scaled up which I did. What does the value on y axis represent ? Thanks

Here's my latest bin - for Flex Fuel. This is completely home-brewed based on tweaks and various adjustments over the years, including the latest throttle adjustments for an AT. Happy tuning!

Mine is IJEOS.
Got it. I noticed your wgdc at 401 is value 58. Which I though was fully closed gates . Your adder for 401 is 35.63. how does adder help if your base value is already indicating fully closed wastegates .

Is x axis in wgdc base maf req or maf req wgdc log value ? I am seeing maf req wgdc as high as 520 in my logs. I am best to scale out the x axis into 500s?
Thanks again .

Sorry, I don’t recall. I haven’t looked at that part of the tune in quite some time.
