...something like that, or like the modern suzuki style damper that bolts the headstock and the bottom triple (or the bottom of the upper triple... I've seen it work both ways). I might be able to get a rotary damper to work, I'll just have to move the techmount. fun fun.
The bike is spools far below 7K, it's just that the off/on turbo lag is completely gone AFTER 7K. Below that you get a little delay before the power comes in.... after the 7K thresh hold boost response to 7psi is almost instantaneous. I'm happy with that honestly. I'm only at 7psi right now, and I'll need a controller or orifice restriction of some sort to get it any higher. I'm not in a huge hurry though... 7 is good for now.
My tire is surprisingly well planted and slip free, though I'll will probably have killed a new Pirelli Angel in less than 4K miles. Though fresh oily pavement, dirt, dust, wet, and anything but the oldest of old paint lines will let it light up if I'm too rough on it.
I found that the map ran damn near the same at sea level as it does up here a mile high. I believe that the stock ECU accounts for altitude with an ambient pressure sensor and adjusts pulse width accordingly. Seeing as how the only real difference in fueling is coming from the rise in pressure from the regulator, the percent of increase (or in my case, decrease) of fuel for altitude is pretty much spot on like it would be minus the turbo, ie: the change is linear for differences in altitude. The base map on the PCV is just that... a way to trim the map around to get it exactly where you want it. I'll play with it more this week, but it's more or less the same map you sent me.
It all comes down to how much rising rate & base fuel pressure you run that makes the big impact. I just reloaded the base map, so I don't know what the AT is really doing yet. I think I need a -smidge- more fuel near redline (AFR is 12.2ish), and a little bit out again for sub 15% throttle openings. I've reconsidered leaning up the map a little in most of the areas.... fuel mileage really isn't bad enough to warrant the effort or the dent to peace of mind. That, and with the flies removed your map is much less rich in certain places than it was... and it feels great (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?). Idle and warmup are good, but the temps here haven't been below the high 70's for a while.... I'll have to wait 'till November before I get a good idea there.
Clutch is holding. I'm still pretty shocked at that, heheh. I just found out today how really really really wacked out the gearing is in 6th: with more than 180 showing on the speedo it drops the revs into the low 7K range. Lunacy. I wish I could re-gear just 6th gear down a touch. I think it will pull 200-205mph if I get enough road, but the high altitude and the HUGE gear make it something I haven't been able to explore yet. That, and the seat-tenting little wobble it develops over one fiddy.
I -DO- want to see some shots of what you did with your air routing. I'm re-routing everything this coming weekend, so it would be a good time to get an idea of my options.
I'm going to pull plugs out too and take a gander, but I honestly haven't felt anything scary/weird/odd enough to think I've crossed the pre-ignition or detonation boundary. Ambient air temps are pretty crazy up here though, and boost really exaggerates the fact..... sure won't hurt to check.
So much to do... so much to do...
PS: 20 degrees? That's honestly amazing. I know the actual air temp under 8psi would be higher, but keeping the plenum/fame itself down that cool is fantastic. You have my attention.
