Default 2 bar boost KPA?
How are you guys calculating boost off of the map? Tell me if I am doing this right. I am at 300 feet elevation so my map reads right at 100-101 while the truck is off. If I divide 101kpa by 14.5 (1 bar) I get 6.96. So for every 6.96kpa over 101 that is 1# of boost correct?

You are reading 100kpa at idle? Something doesn't sound right. How are you reading kPa?

He said it's 100kPa when the truck is off, not idling.
