So I just switched back to Starter 23 Dual Target (23 Sport 18 other modes). As the title states, I am not hitting my boost target in sport mode. I should be getting 23 (obviously) but my last log showed 18 commanded and 19.5 max. I was definitely in sport mode. I have boost by gear set to 15 1st 19 2nd and custom boost level for all other gears. WGDC 28% so its not struggling to make boost.

Can someone help me understand why im not hitting the target.

Phearable has this disclaimer on its website regarding its tunes (I know you didn't go Phearable, but just listen):

- 3 Adjustable power levels on the fly using cruise control buttons:
Level 1: Low Boost / ~16psi** (194 HP 191 TQ)
Level 2: Medium Boost / ~23psi** (223 HP 258 TQ)
Level 3: High Boost / ~25.5psi** (246 HP 291 TQ)
*Power level target is the same with or without sport mode enabled.
**Maximum boost pressure target is an approximation, and may vary due to atmospheric conditions and other conditions. <--------------------------------------------

Maybe atmospheric conditions didn't allow for it? idk just a thought.

I appreciate your input, thanks for taking the time to try and help, but I dont think thats it. Atmospheric conditions are near ideal where i live. 75°, sea level, and not terrible humidity. My IAT was ~90 and k.con elevated to .55 so not pulling timing terribly either. Is it possible there is a tune logic issue?

I never come close to 23psi on my phearable tune map2. I usually max out at 19 20psi. I use 93 oct and my kcon is solid at .48~.49. Power feels good, so I dont really think much of it. I suppose less boost is better.

I just switched over to TSP Stage 1 map 3 and im hitting the 24psi boost target easily. I think there was something weird in the starter 23 tune where it wouldn't map switch from normal to sport, cuz normal was supposed to be 18psi and sport was 23 but I was stuck at 18. 🤷‍♂️ whatever I'll just run tsp tune until I switch to phearable 2.5 flex.
