Results after full blown kit installed

How about posting the log here, or emailing it to me? I'll pm you my email. You are jumping the gun on a number of possible issues when the simple issue will be shown in the log...

yes the person doing the autopsy is the one who installed it, he said he went by the directions, he even said i was too lean, now he thinks i should lower the compression to 9 or 10 to be on the safe side but idk if i wana do that, i been researchin that all day , people have been having good success with this kit so im just completely shocked this happened to me, smh that terrible moment riding in a tow truck looking in the mirror seeing that sexy intercooler in the front bumper but cant drive it

it didnt blow at idle, it started knocking when i got on it

so where is the log? you said you would post it but just continued to not post it?

It's still not clear if the tune you were running was an FI tune.

Looks like the tune was for a 3 bar map. At idle it was 1.00 - 1.05 manifold pressure which is obivously wrong. If you take the math from atmospheric pressure from the stock map at idle and shift it you end up with 1.0-1.15 or so Bar with an omni 3 bar map sensor calibration being loaded in. But the map sensor alone shouldn't blow it up. If anything it should be adding additional fuel. Unless he was bouncing off of a boost cut, but even then most tuners typically completely disable the injectors so you wouldn't be getting a lean burn.

The log is worthless he sent it to me it is about ~5. =( Fuel trims are about right, afr is at stoich, but MAP is reading quite high.

Like... Pegged out? Beyond what the OEM MAP sensor can read? I'm only assuming at this point he was running a 1 bar MAP.

If you post the log it will be pretty easy to see if your fuel pressure is ok and what your afr was like during boost. Otherwise it's all speculation.
Stock internals will run 8psi (and more) easily with correct tuning, no need to drop compression ratio unless you are planning on chasing huge numbers. You could use this opportunity to build a stronger motor but you wouldn't need to drop c/r.

edit. Log was sent. posted at the same time.

Were you getting on it with the base map only, or was it tuned before you got on it. That part is a little unclear to me. You should never get on a basemap and generally keep it out of boost until it is properly tuned.

There are a lot of ways that it could have gone bad that without taking a close look at it, it is really hard to say. You're pretty close to Dynosty though. You might want to have them check things out.

I'm planning on boosting my car when I get back from this deployment, anyone know any good tuners in the NC/SC/VA area that are reliable and good tuners. I don't mind spending a lot of money on a tune I just want everything to be right.

[Dipstik-sportech]

They guy who installed it even said it was too lean but you still went and beat on it? I still say the fuel pump install is at fault here but I'm sure the guy will say no even if it was just to save his reputation. Get the logs to LJ asap and he'll tell you what happened.
