Hi All,

I've finally setup my torque pro app to read various PID's, one of which is boost. I've used that standard/in-built PID, however it appears to be reading psia, not psig. I've tried the 'Boost Adjustment' in the advanced settings at -14.7, 0 and 14.7 with no change to the boost reading.

Is anyone else experiencing the above issue? If so, what was work-around or is there a custom PID that I can setup to read psig, as opposed to psia?

Thanks in advance.

That is interesting.
Last time I used Torque (free version) it was definitely gauge pressure displayed.
The PID description in the saved csv file is "Turbo Boost & Vacuum Gauge(psi)".
I didn't need to make any adjustments.
That being said i haven't used the app in years as i prefer FORScan.

I tried again (playing with Boost Adjustment), and I've managed to get it to read psig. Not sure why it wasn't working before.
