| Thanks Guys! So it should be accurate within the 1 bar and now I know how to calibrate it. Pacemaker - you'r right, I had the PL default at 3 bar and not 2 bar. So this means I can raise the boost higher with no knock yet!!

| Update/info. The OEM 2 Bar only reads up to 13.6psi of boost on the Powerlogger. It absolutely flattens out. I will be looking for a 3 bar. Thanks for the help.

| Update: I got a new 3 bar from ebay and board member. (Thanks dgazer)Works great and now PL matches my mechanical VDO boost gauge. Looks like the OEM 2 bar I had was off! Telltale sign may have been the fact it also changed max readings up (to around 15psi). All set now!

| be sure the 5.0 v signal to the map is very close to 5.0...otherwise it affects the accuracy. Map should be more dependable than most mechanical gauges. VDO's are often pretty good.
