Hi all.
I've been trying to get the boost adjustment correct for my Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo.
With the setting at 14.7 and -14.7 I get an idle reading of about 8.5 on the boost gauge. With the setting at 0 I get about 20 psi at idle.
The factory setting is max 6psi for the turbo. Any idea what I am doing wrong or not doing?

Hi

You shouldn't need to touch the boost adjustment unless you have a mitsubishi. In all other vehicles it should be set at 0

Depending on your settings, you should see in/Hg or -psi when idle typically around 17in/Hg and 'negative psi' if you have configured the app to show 'negative psi'.

The most important thing to have set is the engine displacement, so if you have a 1.6L vehicle, this should be set to 1.6 (not 1600).

VE should nearly always be set to 85

Thats it! Provided you have filled out the vehicle profile accurately you will get accurate boost readings!

You should be getting a negative reading at idle for vacuum.
