I kill ignition and fuel through the ecu. Honestly that’s the best way to do it.
The problem guys had with turbo gen 1s if it had secondary injectors using the ecu to kill fuel With a microtech configured by rcc. The microtech connects to the rpm signal to the dash. So when the injectors were shut off, the microtech would still be fueling and cause a lean condition. That’s also the case when you put it in to the rev limiter and forgot to set the limiter in the microtech the same as the ecu.
if you had a microtech configured by velocity, they got the tach signal from the injectors, so when you would kill fuel, it also shut off the secondaries.
I don’t tune turbo gen 1s through the ecu. Of course I’ll go in, derestrict them, pull timing etc.
I just finished up a built motor gen 1, with one of my stage 1-2 ball bearing turbos, a monster turbos air to water intercooler, mps 80lb injectors, and power commander 5 PTI. I’ve never used a pti before, so I wanted to give it a try and so far, I’m really liking it.
I pulled the charge pipe off and tuned the whole fuel map NA at first. A 9.5:1 gen 1 stuggled to make 130hp. I’ve never done that before, so I thought that was interesting. After putting the charge pipe back on I started tuning the boost table. It took almost 30 min to get the tune close enough to make a full pull. The table had all zeros in it, so literally have to build that table from the ground up.
Not bad for 10ish PSI, and a low 10 afr.

I also like that it uses the Bosch map sensor that has the intake temp sensor built in to it. You can make a fuel modifier table to add fuel if intake temps start to get too high and pull timing if you’re using an ignition module too.
I’m interested to see how good of a job the monster turbo a2w does. I hope it works better then it fits.
