why is maximum map pressure of 15 psi introduced in the dyno data when the target is map 200 kpa?

15 psi is 103 kpa not 200 kpa

I can’t understand

Thank you

I accidentally hit the button to report

VEEEERY roughly :)

200kpa on map pressure is "absolute" - its including the vacuum which starts at 0kpa - 100kpa

0kpa of map pressure = full vacuum

100kpa of map pressure = atmospheric 0psi

200kpa of map pressure = 15psi of boost

100kpa gauge pressure is 100kpa of boost above the atmospheric mark of "0kpa"

-100kpa of gauge pressure is full vacuum

0kpa of gauge pressure = atmospheric 0psi

100kpa of gauge pressure = 15psi of boost

some ecu's work in map pressure - some ecu's work in gauge pressure - some let you choose what axis you want depending on what table your working on.

that means that there is no positive boost pressure on the Dyno
