Pcv pti map sensor placement

[Quiksilver]

I currently have a pcv with manifold pressure beung referenced from my aem failsafe. I wanted to have the extra features of the pti and have the input open for some other things ban i want to try. I ordered the flange to mount the sensor. Ive seen the placement of the flange on the throttle side of the intake (#4?) on top. My bov is around that area also and i have oil thay pools right there. I opened the gaps on the rins to 22 thou or so. It seems like an excessive amount of oil but i havent noticed the oil level at the sight glass change much. It seems to run fine, although hard to start after its sat for a few weeks. So my question is should i put the sensor on the back or side of the intake or on top? The first pic is old and csnt remember the details but i took it off and let it sit upside down for a bit.

mine was on the back of the hahn plenum. used the presure table for boost only, i can send you a copy of the map, it also ran 1000cc ev14 injectors.

Sweet. Did you also have injector compensation set in ecu editor? I could use a base map for sure. Something to get me going until i can get it to a tuner. I had a crappy ecu tune from a local guy and ended up trashing it getting it flashed and used autotune to get where i am now. Its not a bad tune considering i did it but definitely room for improvement.

Can you do auto tune in a pressure map?

Can you do auto tune in a pressure map?

Yes but I would NEVER do it
just my $.02

I would agree. I was just curious

I have @8lbs but i done it slowly over time. Never got the map right without autotune deactivated. For cruising it works ok just takes time. For boost i wouldnt recommend, for cruising i would.

I pulled my gate spring and let it autotune then did the rest myself

Pulled the gate spring? Seems sketchy...but why?

If you pull the spring out it won’t build boost. Or much anyways. That way you can clean up your non boosted map. I just pulled the charge pipe off of the one I’ve been tuning on.

You’re gonna have a hell of a time trying to tune that thing with an fmu on it, and tuning a boost map.

The fmu is coming off, i purchased the fuel pressure regulator you recommend. Im trying to install the new parts before i bring it to you.
