We found out it's actually making like an average of 9 PSI now, well depending on whose formula you use for calculating boost.

Eugene's formula I think is:
{Current Atmospheric Pressure -- which depends on the conditions of the day at that moment in time} - {Manifold Absolute Pressure}

Sebs formula as well as Husam's formula is:
M.A.P. (-) Fixed 14.7 = X bar

I might be wrong here but I'm pretty sure this is what my friend and I discussed the other day -- in regards to the difference between my current tune and other's tunes


Hence, why I'd like a boost gauge. To see what the gauge says I'm making and not based off of a formula in a tune.
