Anyone using dash control for boost?
Anyone using Dashlogic/ Dash control for their supercharged C7?
If so, what setting are you using to measure your boost?
Calculated boost? Or Manifold absolute pressure boost?
I decided not to do a boost gauge in my Ecs setup and use dashlogic instead. On the Dyno with no restrictor plate my car does 11lbs of boost.
On the dashlogic under Manifold absolute pressure boost it reads 4lbs at idle and 18lbs on a hard pull.
Under calculated boost it reads -10lbs at idle and 7 On hard pull(not a full redline pull)... I don't remember my C6 with pillar gauge reading -10 at idle, I thought it was at 0 at idle and negative numbers on deceleration..
Thoughts???

I am using one for boost. It's actually why I originally bought mine. I have it set up using calculated boost. It should read negative numbers like a vacum gauge at idle mine is dead on from the dyno. If you are reading 7lbs on a hard pull you should be good. If you take it to redline it will hit 11lbs.

It will only display one line. I contacted Autometer to see if in the future it might be able to display more than one line and they said in the C7 its not possible. I have not tried it yet but if you go in the advanced section it will display up to 4 items on one line if you list each item with a lower case letter. Like for boost, temp and iat it would show on the display b12,t185,i105 basically it can show as many items that will fit with 32 characters. There is not a HUD option that I know of.
