Got the SCT & Accel map sensor on Blue; connected the DRB just to monitor things & the map vacuum shows 7.9 at idle. The vac/boost guage is showing 16 @ idle, both being connected at the manifold. This can't be good info to the PCM? Seems to be running O.K., anyone run into this?

The DRB isn't going to show accurate MAP info anymore with a 2 bar connected. You are using the same resolution to cover twice the range. The PCM still doesn't know about boost. 14.7psi of boost is 0" of vacuum to the PCM so don't expect it to display boost either. I'm not sure what it should show at idle, but your fuel tables have been totally re-written for the boosted ap. If Chris from PIE reads this I'm sure he could tell you what the DRB would say at idle in a boosted ap.

The DRB of course is looking at the voltage and interpreting it as if its a 1BAR sensor. Just multiply by 2 to get the actual reading.

I thought about that, it was close that way.
