LLY: Boost reference tables

I am having what i think are tuning issues with my truck. I am still on stock turbo and injectors but i have added batmowheel and ported the turbine housing. I just re-tuned my maf sensor settings as i made up new intake and the readings were off but now that is resolved.

My issue is that at cruising speed which is between 100kmh and 115kmh, i am getting between 10 and 12 psi of boost. The rpm's is between 1750 and 1900.

I had the turbo apart to port turbine and this means i had vanes and vane locator ring out also. I didn't remove the sensor or actuator but i remember that i did move the actuator arm a few times. Could my vane position not be at original "zero" position with the arm being moved? I have no tuning changes or mechanical changes other than maf and turbo work.

Say the vanes are not at true "zero" position, this could be the cause of my higher than normal boost which and this is purely assumption, that there is a fueling table based off map pressure which would explain my crappy current fuel consumption.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but from what I understand of your post, your thinking is a little bit off. Boost does not control fueling, but instead the fuel quantity and RPM control desired boost. Also, the only way the vanes not being indexed correctly can cause an underboost or overboost condition is if they aren't physically able to open or close all the way, or if you are hitting a max or min limit before it can get the boost to where it wants it. Desired boost tables are only used as a starting point. The ECM will move the vanes around within the max and min to achieve whatever the desired boost level is.

I haven't logged it as I gotta fomd a good time so the lad that I got tuning from can lemd me the efi live setup. I wasnt sure if the boost reading would dictate any fueling. I was pretty sure that it was dependent on fuel but had to ask. Is there such thing as a turbo vane relearn? Ive seen a few posts related to that question but no for sure answer. Ill log it sometime soon and go from there
