n54tech.com is the jb4 forum, you'll get better and proper help there

From what I glanced at, you've got two main culprits.

- having lived in Ca, I do not miss the poor gas you are provided. 91 octane simply does not cut it
- unless it's like 100+ degrees in Manteca, your EVO 2 FMIC is barely able to keep up with your mods.

You'll also need to properly log and N54tech.com would be a great place to start out with on the in's/out's of properly logging.

What would "cut it" then? 93 octane or adding a couple gallons of e85?
It's close to 100 degrees, almost every day in the summer which is why I went with the Evo 2, Mike at X-ph recommended it as well

I would try to run Map 5...assuming that you have the FF wiring, you could try out e85 as mentioned. Start out small, log, and see how it all looks. However, 2 gallons will barely increase your 91 octane. I run 4 gallons of e85 into 10 gallons of 92 and am able to consistently see and hit 15-18lbs of boost. Then again, all setups vary.

I don't have ff wiring but I see people running e85 blends without a problem. I'm going to log with map 5 and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice bro

What map are you running to get up into that level of boost. 5 gallons of E85 and 8 gallons of 93 only gets me into 14psi.

Yes, you could just mix pump gas and e85, but I just don't think the adjustments made by the JB4 are 100% ideal; hence the need for the FF wiring. From my understanding, in order for the JB4 to properly adjust for e85 mixtures, it needs to tap into the FF rail. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Looking at your sig, we have the same F30, thus you have the EWG. In order for you to hit higher boost levels, you need to run Map 5 and MUST install the EWG cable. Prior to my install of the cable, I could barely muster 14-15lbs of boost.

Thanks, I actually have the EWG connector. I was waiting to install it when I do WMI, which will be soon. One of the wires goes in one spot without WMI and in a different spot with WMI. Didn't want to wire it, tear it apart and rewire the JB4 again after getting WMI, so I figured I'd wait. If I hook it up and wire it for WMI now without having it, will it mess anything up or work like it's supposed to? Wow, another 3-4 psi!!!???... Gotta have it! Especially if it's just sitting in the trunk of my car!?...

You don't have enough octane (you have big timing drops)
Your trims are too high

Based on your log you should be using map 1 (not map 2).
