    Logging Boost?

    How accurate is the MAP-BAR Sensor method of logging boost?
    MAP - Bar Sensor
    [PID.11.PSI]-[PID.2340.PSI]

    I tried and I was getting -8.31-8.09psi at idle and part throttle cruising. AT moderate throttle(57% etc) it went to 1.93psi.

    Is that negative psi normal for a 1bar?

    So if I'm looking for 9lbs of boost it should show +9.0 psi?

    You need a sensor capable of measuring boost. The one bar only reads to around 1 psi.

    This.

    You can't log boost with a 1 BAR sensor.
