Hello all, I have been building an 87 Corvette single turbo, I have converted it to SD and am using $12P with the help of delcowizzid.
Looking forward to tuning this project (with help from you guys).

OK guys, I'm having lots of trouble, It is obvious to me that I don't understand this enough t do it myself. The car starts and Idles ok most of the time, the WBO2 is around 12.2 to 12.5 at idle. it just doesn't seam to have much power and it is very sluggish. I need help. I have returned everything back to what Delcowizzid sent me a few months back so I am starting over. I had a laptop meltdown so I lost all of the data I had but it wasn't good anyway so here I go again, Any advice on where to start, as you see from the photos I still don't have the intercooler on so I'm not going over 10 PSI on the boost. I can get to 10 easy but the motor just doesn't respond like it should.

Do you have a recent log you could post? Along with the latest tune would help.
Also have you been able to verify your wideband readings are correct?

I lost all of my data when I lost my laptop, I am going to start at ground zero tomorrow. A big lesson learned, Keep more than one copy of the tune in more than one place. I am going to start a little slower this time and make smaller adjustments in only one thing at a time, I had made so many big changes the last time that I kind of lost myself. anyway I think that I need to back off all of the boost and just tune the motor first. so that is where I'll start, I'll post a log as soon as I get one.

Sounds like it was a good thing. Nothing wrong with starting again.
I've never tuned a boosted motor but tuning off boost first sounds like a good idea.
