Default GIAC K04 Software is in!

And the car is simply awesome! The boost peaks at 22 psi and holds steady at 19-20 psi. However, when I hit about 5000 rpm under load, the boost "sometimes" (about half of the time) becomes very erratic.

Just got it done this afternoon, so I haven't had much of a chance to try to diagnose the problem. But here is what I observed:

1. High rpm with little load (~12 psi)--no problem.

2. Low rpm (<4500 rpm) with high load (~19 to 20 psi)--no problem.

3. High rpm (>5000 rpm) with high load (~18 to 20 psi)--erratic boost.

On the phone with the shop I'm told my MAF may be marginal and is intermittently weirding out (my words). I cleaned it tonight and may just order a new one, but has anyone else experienced this?

I don't know if it's "basic" K04 programming because I did need a 5 bar fpr (which is in), but I did not go with larger injectors.

I thought you had to get the larger injectors for the K04 programming?

You can do either larger injectors or a bigger fuel pressure regulator.
