Did you bump them up or down?
I am aware of the altitude table. Very stock as I recall.

And yes to the bump direction. Yes, I know less duty cycle equals lower boost, or technically, I guess, makes it more likely to catch the rise earlier or less likely to overshoot and hunt. I actually just dropped the stage 2 low and high tables back in which were both lower and a smidge higher respectively as I recall and went for a couple test pulls on the highway and things were much happier.

Again, I am not blaming anyone or anything other than myself at this point, except maybe Subaru for a crappy piston design. I should have spent a couple hours logging and tweaking Thursday night and did not. I should have dropped by DB Tuned and had Paul run a few pulls on the Dyno and make some tweaks or taken it down to Mike at GST after I dropped the new TGVless engine in months ago and did not. Needless to say, I will not repeat that mistake. No tuning just at Reno altitude.
