    LTG 2014 Malibu no full boost in 1st or 2nd?

    Just started toying with my buddies car and still haven't quite understood the boost control setup. Found an ATS tune running 22psi and copied the boost setup from one tune to the other. itll hold 22-23psi from 3rd gear up to 130mph but it doesn't hit full boost in first or 2nd? My assumption is maybe something in traction control but I turned most of it off.

    I thought by raising the wastegate duty cycle would increase boost, but ats tune had lower duty cycles saved. Not exactly sure which table made the change and where to focus at. Car use to spike 18psi then fall off to 11psi and spike again between gears. Now have 22psi through rpm range in each gear but 1st and 2nd.

    I'm sure there's more PDI's I need to insert to log. Just played around for about an hour

    No I sure haven't. Had good while to play today and even took it to the drag strip. Every pull you see first and second peak around 18 and drop down to 16ish then 3rd gear hits hard with 22psi and holds around there all the way through. Went from stock tune [email protected] to 14.33@97mph. I've tried removing every bit of reducing torque management or entirely removing it that I understood how but still no full boost 1st and 2nd. Boost tables doesn't show to be by gear. I'm still not 100% sure I'm adjusting boost right but compared to another ATS tune I manage to get it to hold 22psi

    Reading the LNF tuning guide they show a boost by gear table. Wonder if this table just isn't released on the new LTG

    Put the base DC back to stock values, modify driver demand to ask for more power in map a, b, c.

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't get to test it out anymore. He traded it in on a 2012 Grand Sport. Someone is gong to buy a used Malibu with some extra pepp in it and not realize it.
