Boost PSI level? Anyone install vacuum / boost guage?

[Decayed]

Cat bank 1 sensor 1
Intake air temp
Boost/Vac the red dot shows just over 20psi
Volts
Exhaust pressure bank 1

I changed it since then and did 3 or 4 different screens
the last one is Boost & TPS

what app and obd is that

Factory boost levels on 93 are in the 16-16.5 psi range, peak. We are seeing 21 psi tuned now on 93.

Most tuners have a boost gauge in them, like HP Tuners, when you monitor/log with the laptop it will show boost.

It's Torque Pro with OBDLink LX
I downloaded THIS pid list from Focus RS forum. Half of them don't work. I still haven't got the oil temp to work. It's inferred from water temp anyway. Still cool to play with.

Nice. . I had a cheapass bluetooth obd and used a different app. The dongle and the app both sucked.

If the OBD link to the computer can be believed, I hit just over 20 PSI. I have a GFB DV+ and a modified exhaust running 93. No tuning yet.

If I had it to do again I would have gotten one step up dongle to be able to use with Forscan. This one can use Forscan Lite which lets you see everything but not program.

Anyone know the max boost level generated by the 2.0 EB in the Maverick? Has anyone installed a vacuum/boost gauge? If so, where/how did you mount it?

I ordered the outboard vacuum...

dang, 16-20lbs of boost. i didnt think it was pushing those numbers stock.

Just got my bluetooth obdlink....seems like it's less than 17psi.

Watching the actual throttle position is pretty entertaining...it's not very related to the pedal position.

That's the tough part about tuning this platform. Ford uses the throttle to control nearly everything. Too much torque, throttle closes, anything gets too hot, throttle closes, too much boost, throttle closes. Oddly the truck feels smooth and the throttle closing rarely shows it's face on the dyno.

Yeah, it's pretty interesting. At like 30% pedal it will open it up and then close back down as the truck speed stabilizes. It feels like the vehicle wants to take off and the throttle management is smoothing everything out...maybe in testing they've found over the years that most car buyers don't like the turbo-y engine behavior?

I don't know what they've found but I find it absolutely ANNOYING to see the throttle control everything, it's unlike anything I've tuned in 32 years.

That what I'm talking about. What app is that?

It's the norm nowadays, with direct injection, better fuel atomization and other advancements they can run much higher cylinder/boost pressures with so much more precise fuel control and more importantly the really superior spray/atomization characteristics of the direct injection process.
