Default Dead Hitachi MAF?

Been struggling with fixing some issues with my car today. You know, that old "doesn't feel right" problem. Couple of logs, block 115 & 003. My 115 log is way better than it was 2 weeks ago, when I was spiking at 1.7bar (yikes). Still need to get the MBC installed to smooth it out a little. Block 003 looks way too low for an X chipped car.

Dead MAF?

ps. 55 degrees out, 5600ft above sea level.

Default 5600 over sea level has a lot to do with it. Have you ever logged 003 up there before?

Also, what did you subtract for ambient pressure?

No, actually I haven't. Ambient is 0.8bar.

Default So you subtracted .8bar from your boost graph I assume? Just checking.

That airflow does seem low to me, but I haven't seen many logs at such high elevation. Furthermore, I've always heard Hitachi MAFs read artificially high when failing.

Default After looking at your graph again, I'd lower SEL scaling via Lemmiwinks to adjust for elevation.

Not much, just a tad.

Default 90%-95% I'd say after looking at my K03 X chip boost graphs.....

Pay attention to the requested boost curve, not the actual (1st is MBC in parallel and 2nd is MBC only holding 1 bar to redline). Notice that my graphs taper below 1 bar quite a bit before yours in the RPM range and requested boost across the RPM range is lower on my graphs as far as I can tell.....
