    Default Data Logging, offset Boost Pressure to Read Correctly in vDash

    I know this is no big deal but its just bugging me, When I set my BBX options in V8 it allows me to set custom PID options. It is known that the boost always reads 14.7 when boost is 0 Well I put a custom offset of -14.7 and saved it. When I Display the data in real time on the V2 it reads correctly but when I record the data to an SD card and bring it into my Vdash it defaults back to 14.7 as the lowest.

    Is there a way to offset the vDash gauge?

    Thanks

    Only V2 can display a pid's custom BBx properties (your offset of -14.7)...

    To see the correct boost in V7/VDash you need to define a calc pid in the calc_pids.txt file, see posts #15 and #19 here: Tryiing-to-log-boost-on-2009-cts-v
