Log evaluation

[Analytical]

Hey guys,
Got a 08.5 MS3 w/115k miles. I'm the 3rd owner. Originally car was sold out of cedar rapids Iowa now residing in So Cal. I have several upgrades I'd like to install but would like some opinions / input first on what I'm working w/. All parts were purchased from aspecvspeedfreak. Here is his car on TheSmokingTire.

Current mods & setup:
Upgraded TMIC off a genpu
cs rmm
hpfp installed
CS Recirc valve
KW V3 coil overs (although I think they are V2'S)
airbox, dp, & exhaust all stock

Upgraded parts in my possession:
Beaner 4 (it looks S3 to me but told it is S4 first gen)
3 bar map
3.5 or 4" intake (dont recall)
rear sway bar

I currently am using a OTS Cobb stage 0 map. I put the Stage 1 + 91 map on there & I heard some knocking, so I put the 0 back. I get fuel cut around 5500 rpm regardless the gear. So when logging I wasn't able to get it to redline. I generally would like to get feedback on the log, suggestions, etc. I'm reading up as much as possible before dumping money into this project. I would like to know if this log sufficient to get a custom tune from a reputable tuner for the time being until i install the upgraded parts previously mentioned?

I think you have a mechanical issue. Check your hoses to and from your EBCS. You shouldn't be hitting 22psi with 0 WG on a COBB stage 0 tune.

Also the link is to a gen 2 not an 08.5.

Yes, something is odd. I am thinking maybe your MAP is bad as your BATs are jumping all over the place from positive to negative values. That could also mean inaccurate boost readings (map does BATs and boost pressure). Ive had them go bad twice over the years and the driveability goes wonky.

i own a gen 1 the parts purchased were from a gen 2. I'll check my hoses & then take a few more runs. In the meanwhile do you suggest grabbing another copy of a cobb map? Any idea why I would have heard knocking w/ the stage 1? Do you recommend going w/ custom tune right away?

I meant manifold absolute pressure (map) sensor not the tune "map". It's located on the passenger side of the intake manifold. Once the car runs good then move to tuning. Impossible to tunevwith sensors not working correctly.

it's also reading 24 psi boost with the throttle closed, maybe some rats ate your wires.

i got a 3 bar map sensor, do you recommend me swapping it out while I'm down there? Is there any disassembly required to check it?

2 options:
1. install 3 bar map and start tuning by getting a base map set up for the 3 bar.
2. Replace stock map with another stocknone and see if that resolves issues.
