Those thin wires in the plug are not injector wires so your module does not change injector timing, it only fakes the common rail pressure signal to the ECU so that it increases the rail pressure slightly. That is also the reason why you have to set it at max in order to notice any effect, there is a limit to common rail pressure so you can not increase it a lot hence can not gain a lot from doing it.
Furthermore, your module has no knowledge about turbo pressure and can not modify its sensor signal and finally your module has no idea of engine rpm so it can only add more fuel over the whole register.

You have bought some shit which you didn't have to - there are good engine tuners in Thailand who can do a decent mapping of your engine!

If you knew what you were looking at it, there is also a plug and connection to the boost sensor. The module is designed in line not a complete ECU change.

Yes I could have gone to ECU shop and spent a ton of money but this is not a race truck. I was looking to get about 50HP and 100+ ft lbs of torque.

Only cost me 1,000b. It was a beast after that, got the before and after graph somewhere. Not a huge difference by numbers but massive by percentage.

It's all about more power.

I added the Power Commander V to my Yam R3 right after I bought it and downloaded and played with the 5 maps they offer. I also added the Leo Vince Corsa II full exhaust. The little R3 screams and is light weight which I like. Sure I could have bought an R6 but around these parts a little canyon carver is a lot more fun and if you tank it, not a lot of cash lost. To me its all about bang for the buck and messing with the toys.

And you are right. Its all about more power
