not sure what that tells us? :thumleft:



Sounds odd to me. The idea of set gain is it's at this point boost controller takes over from the spring in the wastegate.
If anything it should spool quick and give you a potential spike, ha.

You need a nice straight empty road and take a good look at your gauge when out your foot flat to the floor.
The peak feature should also tell you the max boost you hit after the pull.
Ie it shot to 1.4 but then levelled off a 1.2.

Upgraded CT26s are reknown for unstable boost.
