Man, I wish I had never entered any target numbers in the closed loop table. Now that they're in there, it won't let me delete them. ![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Here's the problem:
at 4400 rpm I hit target boost ~215kpa
at 5000 rpm ebc pulls duty cycle to ~180kpa
it will then continue to oscilate between 215 and 180 as I continue the pull. MAP looks like a freakin sine wave.
I have to go buy a USB dongle to upload a screen capture, dataloq, and msq. Will do that in a few hours.

seems to me it would need a f/w change, not a s/w change, as I want to disable the PID
scott, you want me to simply change the bins all to 0 and add to the bottom

no search the string constant name="bc_max_diff" and change that to a zero.
that would force using table2 which is the duty cycle table. dunno why it wont let you use 0 that's what i've always done.
both snippets above are straight out of my MSQ.

I get it now. I was a little confused, but with the code tags that you edited in, it was no sweat. Thank you, I hope that changing the limit value to 0 will causes EBC to straight ignore what's happening. I edited the table too.

1 step back
Good news: No more oscillations
Bad news: Here's what all the 0's turned into:
![](http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2501/kpatableib2.jpg)
Now what happens is boost shoots up uncontrollably, almost as if there were no wastegate, until it hits overboost protection.
Here's a 70% throttle stab
![](http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2479/boostcutgp0.jpg)
Here's me modulating boost with throttle position (note: 5th gear to 6k
)

More ideas?

Also, when I manually edit a .msq with notepad, MT and MLV no longer recognize the file as a .msq. I can still right click and open with, but because MLV won't recognize the file, I can't load the msq for VE Analyze. Which is not good.
Please help. I'm cranky as **** because the water's shut off, I'm tired and stinky, and can't shower.
******* water main broke up the road.

These values worked for me. The table remained locked at 10 and the delta remained at 3.
Code:
<page number="7" size="189"> <constant cols="6" name="bcBins1" rows="6" units="kpa"> 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 </constant>
Code:
<constant name="bc_max_diff" units="kPa">3</constant>
