Everything is measured in percentages instead of boost values. Except one crucial setting: Overboost Value. It's set at a default 11.6 lbs. It will rise to this immediately, unless you tame it down. All the other settings are mute in comparison.

OK, so 11.6lbs. That ain't so outrageous.... Untill you find out it's 11.6 lbs OVER wastegate boost pressure. Which is probably 8-9 lbs on its own.

Of course the screen acronym for Overboost Value is : OPT That makes sense....

So this would spike right up to 20 lbs boost. I speak from experience.

So, BIG tip: drop that setting to 1.0 lbs, and use the offset value to raise boost from there.

Your techs can thank me later. Good luck on this. I'm watching.

^^^ Thanks for the heads up! From all the reading I have been doing on various forums, it does seem like the thing is not the most intuitive to setup. I plan on setting everything at the absolute lowest setting I can and working my way up, as you suggested. I will let you know how it works out!

Thanks again for preventing a 20psi+ spike on my first run!
