You'll get it tuned, calm down. You did it before and proved it's not a mechaniccal issue so just need to learn more of Code $59 adjustments.
Or since you swapped one bar MAP for 3 bar MAP during test could the 3 bar MAP be faulty?

Its reading boost and idle KPA fine. I know I just need to relax a little. I went to make sure it wasnt a vac leak again, and its def not. But ive idled the car so much the plugs are fouling! I just need to read read read. And hope to catch some pointers along the way.

I'll just restate some of the things I have in your other threads and PMs, to keep them all in one place.
Much of this will just be copied and pasted, so it may seem out of context for some people...
The F1 table is supposed to be spark in relation to crank, though because of some other settings and the advance curve built into some ignition modules it may not be exactly the same at the crank. There is no latency table for the spark curve to adjust for different modules, like some other codes have.
Idle uses the 400 RPM row, regardless of what the actual RPM is.
Make sure the base advance (KREFANGL) matches what your base timing is (EST unplugged). Grab a timing light and verify. It's also a good idea to very the spark advance once the EST is plugged in. In my case I had about a 2* discrepancy at almost every point, I adjusted a scaler to rectify that.
Just get the car to idle as lean as possible, even if it hunts a little. I'd rather have a little hunt, than constantly fouling plugs... I'm battling that right now with a guy I know, who runs his blown carbed BBC WAY too fat and constantly fouls plugs and doesn't understand why. :facepalm:

In at least one of my bins, (2.8L inline6 30# injectors, I have an F28 of 137, others I have around 144, depending on where the engine wanted to run, with some changes.
There is a calculation for this value, but whenever I have used it, I get these ridiculously small values that would max out the VE table in no time. IIRC for my engine, the calculation said somewhere around 72, the engine wouldn't even start with this value, unless my VE table was raised to almost max. The general consensus seems to be start with a starter bin, or a $59 bin that is close to the same combination, and adjust the F28 table until the engine idles at or near stoich, then tune the VE table from there.
The F28 table can also be used to fudge a little, when maxing out the VE table(s), the F28 number can be increased, which will reduce the number in the VE table for the same cell.
Make sure the VSS flag is set accordingly, checked for a magnetic VSS, unchecked for an optical VSS, which also uses two different inputs BTW.

Looks like Six Shooter has the info you were looking for.
Now that you have fouled out plugs and probably a sooty O2 sensor don't expect instant or perfect results. Get them closer and take the car for a ride to clean things out.
Or did you change spark plugs yet? I forget if I read here with your thread or somewhere else the need for turbo type spark plugs that have much shorter extrusion and shorter tips to prevent glow and preignition under boost.
Also going to have to look at fuel, 87 octane is not going to help performance under boost and produce knock and retard your timing, killing your performance gains. So make sure your knock is working and taking out enough timing on your starter bin, since it's a starter bin I would hope these settings are on safe side.
There's an excellent article on GN Turbo site about fuel and additives that seems to have great results to this matter.

When all is ready we need smoky burn out video hopefully with turbo whine!

I got colder plugs gapped to .025 and 93 in the tank.
Thank you for the thread i will check it out!!
I am SO HAPPY right now. Watch this video and you see that Im finally getting a little grasp on the idle and part throttle tune.
1st pull 62% throttle 4.48psi of boost
2nd pull 52% throttle 4.14psi of boost
Decent afrs' but id need just a little more fuel as id like 11.5:1-12:1 Afr's under boost
Idles ok...

FWIW, I'm not hearing what Dave is regarding the BOV, it sounds like it is opening to me. Ok, maybe a little in the last video. Sometimes cameras will pick up on sounds that are not heard in real life. :shrug:
I think you've missed some key points in tuning $59, I'll state them here to make sure they are stated again, and clarified on some points.
The 400 RPM row for idle only applies to the F1 table, the VE table uses actual RPM values for idle tuning. The thing to make sure of here is that you are using the correct table, for VE at idle. There are flag options to use or not use the F29c table, and whether to use or not use the F29x table. I would assume that the F29x table is checked and that the F29c table is not at this point.
There is also a flag to use or not use the F77x table as well. I will assume at this point that the use F77x table is checked, it is in all $59 bins I have looked at. One thing to remember here is that the lowest value (100 KPa in the F77 table, 84 KPa in the F77x table) will affect ALL MAP values at and below those values. I.E. the 84 KPa cell in the F77x table will affect all fueling at 84 KPa down to zero KPa. This is why I usually set this to zero, and adjust the F29x table for fueling.
You can, in order to keep from maxing out the VE table, bring the F28 table up some, and reduce the F29x table around the idle cells. It is this reason that I say, that the caluclation is that is supposed to be to calculate the base pulse width (BPC in the F28 table), is not accurate, since the VE table generally gets maxed out very quickly. It is a bit of a work back and forth deal until you get a good balance, this is why I've had values in the F28 table from 118 to 148 at various points in tuning and learning more about how the $59 code works.
As Dave said, the high AFR numbers when you let off the throttle is due to DFCO, there is no fuel being injected, so the AFR goes extremely lean while the engine RPM drops, until a certain RPM or MPH is met.
Do yourself a favor and buy an Ostrich 2.0, more than worth the money on it. No need to log and burn EEPROMs to turn around and test the change, though you are making good progress doing that, but with the emulator, you can make changes without turning the car off, to see the results immediately. :)
Is it actual vacuum line? If it's too soft it can collapse under vacuum and not provide a vacuum signal to the BOV.
I prefer to use as much hard line as possible, I tend to use brake line for as long of a run as I can, and then use rubber vacuum line only to make the connections to the end points.
I found years ago, that my BOV (A Mitsubishi BOV), would open quicker than when I used just soft line.
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Thank you again sixshooter!!! I will get on those points and tune some more, also see if my soft vaccum line is colapsing.
But im glad I am getting a little grasp on the $59.

Does anyone know of a AFR correction program that works with a $59 bin?? Im lost at how to make up a formula for afr tuning. I was good at using the BLM's in Excel before for part throttle in the $88 mask. But I dont know what the easiest way to use my AFR readings to change my VE values is.... Thanks for any tips! Tommorow gonna be a nice day, and no work...so lots of tuning hopefully!
