safc wired to boost sensor

[Jeff_Ciesielski]

I tried searching this one out of curiosity, but wasn't able to come up with anything. Does anyone here wire their safc's tps wire into their boost sensor? This is a fairly common practice where I originally cut my teeth on car performance ( rotary ) because it gives a more realistic picture of what is going on in an engine than throttle position in a turbo car. People had much better success this way tuning rotaries, in fact, id say it was just about the only accepted way to tune series 4 rx7s with an afc, because they used narrow range throttle sensors ( only read 0-25%) that wouldn't allow useful tuning across the whole throttle range.
Im considering doing this on my AWD when I pick it up in a few weeks, but wanted to know if there were any known issues with DSMs being wired this way.

We don't have "boost sensors". Your car will have a factory boost gauge, but it is only showing the ECU's estimate of boost and it in no way even close to being reliable.
