    Camaro 2.0L Turbo I4 has anyone tuned one?

    Who is the first?

    I just bought a 2.0t Camaro on Monday. I haven't tried tuning it yet, but did pull the stock file and have been doing some logging. I will try to upload the stock file tonight.

    Max boost I have seen so far is 21.5psi, assuming I'm logging the correct pid. It doesn't seem to be reaching the commanded/desired boost pressure of 24ish.

    Also seeing some KR, but I assume the dealer filled it with regular and not premium because I know they are cheap asses.

    I want to hit the strip first while it's stock before I start modifying anything. Maybe next week once I get some premium fuel in it.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the KR doesn't go away, I saw quite a bit on my stock ATS with the LTG.

    Gotcha. I'll keep an eye on it.

    I just uploaded the stock tune into the repository, it is awaiting approval from HPT staff to become public

    I still haven't messed with the tune, just been logging things... I'm currently testing a 72mm throttle body (stock is ~59mm, but the intake manifold inlet is 67 mm)... It seems to like it, and I haven't had to mess with the tune yet...

    Probably within the next month I will have to start playing with the tune as I'm changing the turbo and will put on a high flow catted DP.

    I have tuned some. They are fairly simple to tune. Much like the ATS, but with some differences in a few tables.

    I would be interested in seeing some other stock logs to see if they all have such low lb/min airflow as the couple I have tuned.

    After taking apart the stock intake tube, my guess would be that this thing is choking the heck out of that turbo. Just a hunch. Time to make a new intake elbow.

    If you are talking about the white "silencer" thing in the intake tube, the tube actually flows better with it in rather than taking it out. A new intake tube would be the way to go if you are concerned about it.

    The one from the 2.5L Chevy Malibu (and other 2.5L cars using the same motor) works quite well as a direct drop in.

    I'm using the throttle body from a 12-15 LFX v6 Camaro.
