Found that torque can use MAF for boost figs so I've set it that way and will see what it comes up with, however as I have synergy plus pierburg I have my doubts that it will be accurate. Will report back tomorrow

tried the MAF method of taking the boost reading but tbh it didn't seem to give believable figures so back to MAP despite its limitations, probably fair to say that if you hit the OBD2 reading limit your boost is probably to high anyway

my boost is running at around 18.5psi, would raising it 21psi make that much difference to the way it drives?

another question, my psi reaches 18.5 first then back off slightly, is this normal.
with the boost controller fitted does it hold the boost at the amount it first hits |

Does it go to the top value, and gradually decrease as the RPM increases? If so - that's normal, it's a small turbo. |

yes it spikes then holds lower, so boost creep yes,
would this be due to a weak spring on the wastegate. am i correct in thinking that by fitting a manual boost controller i can get it to hold the higher value |
