Hummm, is there something magical about 3k rpms??), I'm wondering if there isn't something in the MAF input loop with the ECU that could be causing your "goes flat in 3rd gear" . I'd also be interested to see what happens with your egts if you bumped the fp to around 40psi.

The EGT's are so high because the timing is slacked so badly... I know that for sure.

I don't think it is a MAF issue to be honest. the readings are steady and consistent.

I am almost wondering if it may be due to the fact that the ECU sees neutral during shifts?? I am going to try a few things this week to tinker with a couple things... here is what I have planned.

1. Dummy knock sensors, these will be wired to the engine harness and tied up out of the way... I will have a bolt through them with a low resistance wire to the engine to make sure they do not throw codes.

2. I am going to wire a neutral switch... So the clutch pedal no longer sends the ECU signals that the car is in neutral when shifting.

I will try and take a look at what you have posted Phil... Not too much free time on my hands anymore but I will try

Tom
