Default Turbo Data Log Look Good?

So long story short, Had my car tuned local and found out afterwards he never tuned a turbo before, It made 600 whp on the dyno but only pulling 115mph on the dragy on the street in the 1/4 which i was 113 before with 355 whp. So wondering if it is in the tuning or my head or my driving.

Even with the insufficient parameters you have datalogged, it is obvious the tune is crap. I am guessing this was a quickie tune on a non-load bearing dyno. You have knock retard bringing you down to 7 degrees spark advance up top.

First time using hp tuners lol just figuring this data log stuff out, he also tuned out the 02 sensors because he said they went crazy, which I wasn't a fan of really. They were fine before hand. I didn't figure it was the best tune, when he said he never done a turbo before after it was done I've been questioning it all summer. It was a dynojet dyno

I would think that probably 15mph or so in trap speed you are missing would be worth figuring out.

Yup thats why I'm here, i kinda figured the tune might be off once i found out he never done a turbo, and was relatively new to tuning. But was local next area being 4hrs 1 way so it got the car running and was able to spend the summer working thr kinks out. So next summer I guess we will make the trip to a reputable tuner.

That log is missing a ton of information and is logging the wrong MAP pid and there is no tune posted, would be a total guess.

Refer to second post.....never mentioned a tune being in here either. The fact that its at 7deg timing up top from previous posts is enough ti tell me it needs looked at.

The 2nd post has an awful lot of assumptions. I know you never posted a tune which is why I said it would be a total guess without one and the log is missing all sorts of information. It's only 7 degrees on one tiny spot and that may be just fine in bringing the load in 4th gear because I have no idea what kind of boost it's running, and no dyno graph showing the curve, etc.

Weird I swore boost was in there, it's on 15lbs. And this was the dyno sheet.

Hooked up the hp tuners and read the file, this is it, also when you read the file does it pullit and need re installed to the car or does it just copy it, thanks

Words are not sufficient to describe what was done to your "tune". Even though it is a 3bar custom operating system, it is NOT a 3bar SD tune. And when you read the file it only reads it. It does not erase.

I guess that would be ok for someone never tuning before and that's the first try. That would be horrible if a shop charged money for that and thats how your car left a shop after being on a dyno.

I definitely over paid then 😂 but this was my first build, from motor swap to head swap, new to turbo stuff, so I really wanted to make sure it ran close to home, rather then driving 4 hours one way to find out I messed something up and couldn't get it tuned, so I guess I'll make the journey come next summer and get it tuned right.

With Hp tuners and a wideband then you have almost unlimited number of options for email or remote tuning. I dont think you could possibly get a worse tune than you have no matter what route you go.

I will likely make.the jorney to a good dyno tuner, not against remote tuning as my truck is done that way, but I like having the dyno numbers as well.
