Finished up another race weekend! Did a little tweaking on the car saturday and took it on a long drive. I haven't had a chance to go through the logs yet but I noticed a weird behavior. On high boost shifts from 2-3 and 3-4 the wastegate and blow off valve seemed to get caught in a harmonic cycling fit, which prevented spool. If I slammed the throttle shut, waited half a sec or so then opened it up again it would be fine. I'm not sure what would cause this and it doesn't happen all the time. I adjusted my bottom end off boost timing which has really helped my initial throttle response and low end pick up.

After topping off with 100 octane I headed down to the autox in Marina for a double points fathers day event. The car was pretty squirelly under boost and turned the rear tires into smoke at full boost :P Here's my fastest run of the day which was good for 2nd in class and top 5% overall, not too shabby! As you can see, there was still room for improvement :P
