Randy,

Actually we are all experiencing the exact opposite. We are leaning out due to the colder air, not getting more rich. Gurgen explained it really well to me in the my350z.com FI Forum and Alan and Sharif also chimed in to add some clarity. I'll leave a link for anyone who's interested... http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthre...37#post1808737

That sounds WAY too high IMO. Was 12.6:1 at WOT and at peak torque? If so, I'd get that checked out ASAP and stay out of boost in the meantime.

BTW, how's the APS ST working? Did you ever get all of the bugs worked out?

Yep, 12.6:1 at WOT.
I am having the UniChip replaced this week with the EU and Profec boost contoler. I am have several issues still. My turbo install is rubbing everywhere and some hesitation issues.

good find and thank you for proving that a reliable source I once considered "reliable" is no longer...Gurgen knows his stuff and is a close personal friend of mine...with his experiences with this engine and FI, his word if definitely law...

What are you using for fuel management? Are you relying strictly on the ECU reflash or do you have a system like a GReddy Emanage or similar?

He and I are both using the same piggyback system that is provided with the Vortech kit. It's called Split Second software...

I just had the aps TT installed in my car. Now i can't stop smiling whenever i go WOT. I'm trying to decide when a good time to have my car tuned after reading the link from Gurgen ...... would i be mistaken if i were to assume that it's better to tune your car during the winter then?

Just leave your setting the same people, your ecu compensates fuel for temperature changes, hence the air intake temp sensor =P
