Default OL to CL weirdness

Working thru tuning my Gen 3 turbo 2 bar build.

Failed the MAF and setup OL
Tuned the VE tables to a reasonable point up thru ~10psi (street tuning)
Flipped the MAF back into play and left it in OL
Touched up the MAF freq table to a reasonable point

This is my first tune and when I hit 10psi and the AFR gauge was looking reasonable I was super stoked and couldn't wait to flip it into CL as I thought the tune might clean up a bit more but it got weird instead.

Put it back in CL took it out for a ride and when I hit boost it remains lean. This was not what was going on when I was in OL. Guessing I did something wrong, any tips on what to look for/change/??. I have enclosed my tune and log. You can see the condition occur in the first minute of the drive, you can also in the second minute if I roll into the boost soft it seems to be better but who was to roll in soft....

Any advice would be appreciated, feels like I missed a step or something real obvious.

Which MAP sensor do you have?

I've seen P59 ECU's set up as 2bar continue to use the fuel trims when in CL. Even though it went into PE.
I had to revert back to OL.
Why are you using the MAF?

Well, this is more of a daily driver and I wanted to keep the maf and get the whole experience! I know there are a ton of guys who run SD and are super happy with it, I figure I'd just try it and stick it out until I win or lose.

I am new to this but have the basics, I don't notice any trims while in BE, didn't check PE.

I did however make a few PE changes, I established KPA enablement versus tps/rpm for PE/BE and rolled it in sooner. I also changed the enrichment ramp in to 2.5. Still a little slow but feels like the transition is faster. Wondering what the lag between the gauge and the graph is, I keep staring at the gauge and it seems like I'm lean forever but the graph tells me is a second or less.

I also noticed I'm going a rich after 170kpa, I pulled a little eq and I'll re-check. I know it's a hack but I'm learning so I'd like to see what happens as a result.

So you're wanting to run closed loop with narrowbands but you are using the wideband to correct your airflow calibrations? Are you disabling OL STFT and LTFTs?

I've run a MAF with a turbo before...it is doable. But you can't run your calibration in circles with mixed fueling feedback.

Okay maybe I'm being stubborn and stupid...

While in PE/BE I see no fuel trim activity but my AFR is slow to transition when I get into boost and I get a lean spike for longer than I want.. While not in PE/BE I don't have a problem (relatively speaking!) as afr hangs right around 14.6.

I did not notice the lean spike during transition to BE/PE with my maf enabled and forced open loop or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.I think what I'll do it step back to OL/failed maf touch up a few segments of the VE table then bring the maf in while in forced OL and see what that does and post the results.

With that said when I configure OL I setup the tune to force OL AND I use the scanner vehicle controls to disable CL, disable LTFT learn, and reset the LTFT. Pretty sure that is the correct way right?

I guess one more question, when I'm doing VE tuning in boost regions I keep PE/BE enabled right? Just set the BE/PE EQ where I want it and tune to VE?

Yep, stupid and stubborn.

Went OLMAF, didn't transition well
Went SD, transitions great.
