Plugs helped a bunch found some 1 heat range colder with extended tip. But not nearly as extended as stock jeep plugs. Closed the gap up and the rattle is very light now. Now when the wideband shows up its time to start tuning.

Also need to move the piggyback controller inside the firewall. The thing's not weatherproof, and their idea of weatherproofing is leaving it in a bubblewrap bag. Rolling Eyes Plus the plug in for the tuning/datalogging is on the box, so much handier if its inside somewhere.

On a semi surprised note after a few hundred miles there's been no check engine light.

Yes. You can tune both enrichment and timing retard. Uses 3d maps.. guess I got some learnin to do. It will also accept input from the Innovate and log that so you can use that data in their tuning software.

Got my gauges hooked up finally. Went with a cheapie "Dragon" boost gauge. Funny thing is, it matches my Innovate gauge almost perfectly. I've had it up to 6psi today which is where it's supposed to max out. Don't think i'll be using the gauges 21psi warning light. Laughing

So far it looks like the AFR is pretty close, just watching the meter. As the boost builds the afr slowly drops to 12.5:1. The main thing I need to try to tune out is a hesitation right before boost starts. Maybe I'll try adding a bit of fuel a little earlier.

One bit of disappointment. Found out the Split Second tuner that was sent with my kit does not have the optional input for the wideband. So i'll have to log both seperately. Was thinking of trying to run both programs at the same time to log the same events, but that will require a second serial to usb adapter. Rolling Eyes

Here's a look at my new gauges, the led's give the camera fits. Took 7 or 8 pics before I got most of the lit segments to show up on the pic. Even then the lights that say AFR meter and Innovate on the AFR gauge don't show here.
