Question Advice needed: Retune for AMS F1 intake

Hi guys,
Nice to be back around here.
Some people brought me a IX with lot of mods because they did too much stuff on it with no idea and of course no retune... I have to say that the car was a mess, after repairing crazy stuffs (bad vacuum connections, shortcut on TPS power, bad done wiring extension, etc) and fixing more than 8 ECU error codes, I have finally the car starting well without DTC but I have some problem in low range RPM when going WOT. I am trying to look for help regarding the AMS F1 intake (with boomba throttle body) since this is the first time I see a car with it and I do not know where to start from... What kind of tables are you guys moving for this mod? Any clue will be welcome!
Thanx!

Post a log of what's happening. Could be knock, bad AFR, wrong low end timing, etc...

Did you check for boost leaks?
Did you check the timing marks on the engine to be sure it's properly set?

Thank you guys.
I finally found the biggest mistake...was a shortcut on MAP sensor... Now the engine run fine, I can start the tuning!
Cheers.

It makes you wonder just how an evo can get so messed up, but I have seen a few rolling disasters too, so the problem is a world-wide phenomenon.

I once blown a 3sgte ECU when the map sensor wire has grounded and fried the ecu input
Beware with your wiring... make it clean and tight
