Default There's a custom high altitude file for here but not from AWE. I think it's a Moss file...

either way, Moss told me that the latest AWE file should be just fine at my altitude.

I'm thinking hardware problem, but what?

AWE stage 3 uses a different fpr from stock. You need it.

Default by pulling some primary fuel you are leaning out the mixture all across the map...

I would say to a pressure test and log block 115 as well as 003, 032, and 031. If it turns out ok hardware-wise, then I would look to the fuel mixture map and pull some fuel.

Are you sure about that? I thought they used a stock FPR also?!?! Is it a 3 bar?

Default The rich condition WILL cause limp mode.

I swapped the 90mm housing for an 85 and ran a couple passes without fuel tweaks. Got limp mode. I had to clear the codes, unplug the ECU to reset it, and pulled 20% with Lemmi. AFR per WBO2 was still only 10.4, but boost was back to normal. I first tried clearing codes and pulling fuel, but the limp mode didn't go away until I reset the ECU.
