I've had one fitted to my Rev3 turbo and it has been setup to simply run at a slightly increased boost level which we think is circa 0.9 to 1.0 bar. I don't have an aftermarket boost gauge yet, which is on my shopping list for next month, but I'd appreciate any tips on setting it up when I get one as JimGTS has pestered me to learn how to use it.
Thing is, I'm new to this turbo stuff but not the MK2 having an N/A and a V6 in my fleet, and the gain settings, percent settings confuse the hell out of me. I've watched youtube vids and read installation and setup instructions and still none the wiser!!!
Any tips appreciated

Leave it at standard boost till you've got a boost gauge. Best bit of advice
Re: Anyone familiar with the HKS EVC4?
The EVC is a boost gauge
The early models have "monitor" mode and the later models incorporated a boost gauge into the standard display output.

Yes, but from what I can gather it only reads boost as an offset of what it thinks is stock? So the numbers are meaningless to me!
Looks like this:

Three boost outputs on that screen
Max - i.e. Peakhold
Current - Boost/vacuum now
Set - Desired boost level
All the brand name Japanese boost controllers function as a boost gauge too. They have their own pressure which is used to both display and respond to boost levels.

Currently displaying 111 on the right and not not hitting any warning. Whatever that means!??
