What I believe is a boost gauge error?

I think when I turned my MBC down all the way for my BLT it never got turned back up the psi pre BLT. I just turned it mostly out so I knew I wouldnt F anything up.

Well a friend wanted me to do a few pulls and it was embarrassing because the car wasnt putting me in my seat like a few days ago. The boost gauge read 10-11 PSI at 4500-6000 RPM but thats what it was BEFORE the BLT. So I went home and turned it up a few turns and it still reads 10-12 in boost... It does feel slightly quicker when turning it up, but doesnt feel as strong as pre blt. First spins, second is quick, but into third the car just loses its animation :( Everything is spooling and sounds normal, and gauge reads 10-12 still...

My MBC looks a lot like the squared one in the picture, except it is black and has a reddish orange cap.

I do still have two known boost leaks, one in the TB > TB Elbow gasket and my BOV gasket which I have parts ordered for, but even before the BLT with ALL of my boost leaks, it seemed a bit quicker going into third and 4th.

Also when I started a pull in third, around 4500 RPM and break boosting. I let off the break and pegged it and it honestly did not feel like the car was going anywhere... -_-
 
I know there's a way to simulate narrowband, but not sure about simultaneous wideband output. Theres a bunch of features on it that I won't be able to use for a while, thanks for the heads up!

Ecmlink can do narrowband simulation with a wideband output, but the MTX-L has to outputs that can be converted to run either narrowband or wideband. Works great, I've used it on 2 dsms, so far, and have about 4 more to buy still.

I can't get my uego to log properly with tunerpro (with ostrich 2.0) either, I've tried a few formulas in the program to get it to work that work out perfect mathematically but doesn't work. It's a great gauge but getting it to log properly is tough. I plan on switching to mtx-l too cause I know someone that has it log just fine, and it has a greater readout range too over the aem.

Forgot about that too. The AFR range is a decent amount broader on the MTX-L. :thumb:
