I often wounder if its dependant on what tune or flash your on from the dealer that decides where boost/fuel cut is at.

If its colder than 40 degrees here then I will get fuel cut. What is your altitude? that could have something to do with it.

I haven't hooked up my AFC to my laptop in a while but don't you have to set the MAF voltage values? I have only hit fuel cut once with the AFC and it was actually just last week.

I'd love to be able to connect mine to my laptop, but no worky...I haven't hooked up my AFC to my laptop in a while but don't you have to set the MAF voltage values? I have only hit fuel cut once with the AFC and it was actually just last week.

Yeah, then I downloaded them, and still no communication...You probably just need drivers for the serial to usb, that has been my problem connecting AFC/EMS to laptops 90% of the time.

serial to usb is one of the more tricky connections. Its better to just simply have the serial/com port on the pc itself. We have all kinds of trouble with them at work. "I.T." guys hate them.

That's what the problem was. The USB to Serial adapter was on Com16/17, so I had to go in and change it to Com2 which was the only one open with the 8 the R4 software allows.Check device manager for the USB to serial "COM" port. There are only four.
Ex. COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4.
In the SSAFC u have to choose the correct COM port. Hope this solves the issue if you haven't already figured it out.
Now that I've got that straightened out- I went through the table and start making .1 changes throughout the MAP. I lowered basically every single valve by .1 across the entire board to start. Is this an acceptable way to do it? I looked at my recorded data and it showed pressures (green) up to 20.2! That's not my actual boost is it?! There's no way...

Well, everything wasn't set up correctly when I recorded that data. I've since changed it, but have yet to do a road test. That would make since though.Eww faulty MAP sensor? would explain the fuel cut.
