I call it like I see it, I still haven't seen any evidence otherwise. However, I agree, this is going nowhere. I still maintain that I have never attacked BEGI. I still maintain that the chart is :bs: . Keep all your further opinions to yourselves and believe who you want to believe.

The run was started at 3000 rpm

EXACTLY

StephanieT - I am not going to pick apart every statement you made because it is not going to prove my point here. Changing whether or not the car is going into open loop is not going to make the car spool 1000 rpms faster, period. Explain how this is supposed to work... The car will give...

Once again, I am not disputing the actual numbers that the dyno is spitting out. I am questioning the compairison that has been made. I have had two other cars spit out rougly the same numbers on my dyno stock. My dyno should read rougly similar to that of any other dynojet... It has in the...

Exactly, for the most part oem's do not want you to modify the car after it leaves the assembly line. Think of all the safety precautions like insurance for Mazda. Even if the boost control solenoid fails or loses a boost line, the car wont be able to carry that boost into the higher RPMS, even...

I am not disputing its ability to control boost. I have seen and used an XEDE before. As I stated earlier, the car will vent any boost pressure that is created anyways to a certain extent. Check out my manual boost controller test. The curve with the xede is not in question. I think that it is...

Your compairison is valid, but a little off base. Diesels don't exactly have any sort of ignition timing. They actually work off of injection timing. My range of knowledge in this field is honestly a little limited at this point. What I know has been passed through one of the owners here at AMS...

First off I want to say that I am not attacking anybody here, or even a particular tuning system in general. What I am trying to get across here is that the dyno chart that is posted is hardly evidence of any real gains. Things that are wrong with said dyno chart (not things wrong with said...

I just want to make sure before I get into it. That chart is total BS.

I assume you mean this one?

I'd like to see the dyno chart.

Regular OBD scanners can't see a reflash. Correct, the motor does run off the maf sensor, and according to another memeber this is the sensor it uses to enable boost cut. If this is true, boost, or even flow from a larger turbo will enable the boost cut and make it very hard to tune with a...

Deff possible that Mazda underrated the car. At this point, we have a wide enough test base to accept these numbers as what it should be producing I think. I have also dyno'd a Speed6 and another Speed3 with similar results. Those cars were also mostly stock. On the EVO 8 and 9 end of the...

I'm not a huge fan of the xede or any piggyback unit especially when you have an ECU reflash coming. On one hand you have a piggy back system which is only modifying the output of the ECU. When the ecu signals change it is still modifying the same amount. A piggy back is just that, a piggy...
