Re: CAN YOU TUNE A MASS AIR FLOW SYSTEM FOR BOOST??
It's possible to make it work good enough for most people. But, it's not boost friendly software.
Some key points:
MAF will max out quickly
Raise the max Airflow vs RPM table to 255 everywhere
Spark will have to be compromized - set the LV8 208 column to boost friendly spark advance
LV8 will max out off the table
"Boost" won't be detected at all, just have to kind of assume when it's boost
Definitely lower the TPS threshold for PE fuel
Give it plenty of PE fuel, and more at higher RPM as MAF maxes out
Give it NO PE spark
Make sure your fuel pump is bigger and better than stock
Make sure your injectors can flow enough fuel for naturally aspirated hp + boost hp + wasted hp for turning the blower. Basically - figure BSFC = 0.55, and whatever hp is expected
Run some cooler plugs
Run premium fuel
MUST tune PE with a wideband
