It sounds more like something other than the PC. The PC doesn't exactly go out of tune. However if something else has gone AWOL then it could be adjusted to compensate but really its best to check the other things like sensors. Perhaps the air or engine temperature sensor (if it has one) isn't reading correctly and fooling the ecu into thinking the engine needs more fuel when it doesn't need it.

That said you can go to the Power Commander website and download the software to your computer and then plug the PC into it and adjust it accordingly, its fairly straightforward
Zephyr 810 turbo. All running ok...............ish
Kooter Brown framed 750 turbo. Getting started soon. Just need to get paid first
1999 ZX7R. Now keeping as a winter hack as its totally reliable unlike the others

PCs do die occasionally and the map can get corrupted. I would start by getting the map out of the unit and comparing it to the map that was installed when you fitted the PC.

If they are identical and the PC appears to be in working order and responding to throttle then your problem probably lies elsewhere.
First to 200mph (2006) and still the fastest (211mph)
Quickest turbo-only 8.69 @ 162mph
