You can also check it with an ELM327 OBD2 bluetooth adapter and an Adroid phoen with the app Torque

I found the ECU would read up to 5.2 psi with the OEM MAP sensor and stage 1 tune. No higher. My vacuum/boost gauge was reading closer to 7 psi because the wastegate preload on the 6psi actuator was set high.
After changing to 3barMAP sensor and stage 2 tune the ECU matched the boost gauge.

just fyi before anyone thinks they're a psi or two low.

Yes, that is correct. I initially thought stock WG spring was 5 psi, that is why I said it was ok.

Also, I recommend a boost gauge independent of the ECU sensors, (aka P3 gauge which IS dependent on the stock sensors)

Thanks.. I didn't know what that was so I searched for it. It's neat.

But to be sure, what I meant is the P3 gauge is dependent on the stock ECU sensors.... Although it allows two other inputs into it 0-5 V.

Ok so I never got anything that connects these two pipes basically which I circled in red. Is nothing included in the stage 1 that connects these two? Is it nothing to worry about? I really need a serious answer please.

You're in need of a blow off valve (BOV) my friend. It does not come with AVO kit but it says that in the kit description. Although, they don't tell you what to do with the open holes in the tubes.

It did get a little silly but your thread is being well supported and I don't think anyone wants you to blow anything up.

I have the 50/50 AVO bov sitting at home. I ended up going with the GFB 50/50 anything within a 32mm or 33mm bov will fit.

Yea, we laughed a bit, but it was clear everyone was serious about the need for a BOV

SRS answer:

I believe you can just purchase one of the OEM type Bosch BPVs off eBay for around $30. Or go to your local hardware store and find some plugs and hose clamps to seal it up. You can run without a BOV or BPV like the Greddy kit, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I already purchased a valve at a local turbo store, man the things he was telling me. Anyways, now all I need is a tune....

Any recommendations on a good flash tune? I have a full catless header back exhaust and a perin filter to go along with it

No, maybe because I paid a lot less than the base price... I have an ecutek cable and a dongle but not a map
