boost guage reading vs. PFC datalogit
my boost guage reads 13psi at max, but the datalogit gives me .75 - .76 which is about 10.8 or so -
what gives with the difference?

On the other hand, it IS well known and documented that the PFC commander displays lower boost than what the car is actually running (and what the PFC is actually seeing). If you run a ghost trace, you will see that even though the PFC may display 0.75, it is reading from the next highest load cell. It's an error in the PFC commander display, not an error with the PFC or the map sensor reading.

When I turn my ignition on, but do not crank the car the PFC reads -40. I thought there was a problem with my MAP sensor so I replaced it with the GM 3bar. It still reads off, Today I'm going to check the grounding around the PFC and see if that might help, I really would like for the PFC to show accurate information.

its reading absolute pressure (or pressure relative to sea level...cant remember which) when there is a negative number. Theres also a way to change it so it reads zero. Search for it in the PFC forum

yea, i've been meaning to ask since the reading on the commander is off how does that affect the performance. if the PFC is thinking it's seeing 10psi but in reality in'ts 12psi i would imagine that's big trouble, but i guess it's an error with the commander and not the actual PFC unit. good to know.
