Post "wastegate mod" EC adaptation? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Scott Campbell on  Thu May 3 05:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Sorry to perpetuate this wastegate discussion, but I’ve got another question.

Is it possible that my EC has adapted to the 4.5 wastegate modification I did last week?

Initially I had great throttle response and the turbo would spool up at the drop of a hat. Now, after about 500 miles, the turbo doesn't spool up nearly as readily and the throttle response, though smooth, seems to lag. (maybe because of the turbo response?) However, the PSI and newfound power seem to be as high as they were after the mod.

Could the EC have adapted?

Should I try another turn or two?
