Have you got the manual ? All hooked up ? It's odd that my AVC-R has no TPS input compared to the ones mentioned in the market, yours too ?

What boost level are you going for ?
Are you controlling boost through RPM or Duty Cycle ?

its not hooked up yet had it in my old running as a basic boost controller and not connected to the ecu i would like to run it thru rpm so the boost can be set to the revs and not have massive spikes on kick down would like most of the boost higher up the rev range im only going to be running 16t rica 304 and blues so it wont be massive boost levels but would be nice to control it a bit better

You'll need to determine the duty cycle setting first and then it'll be easy. In fact I use the DC more than BOOST control on the unit. The auto setup is also simpler as you can disregard the Gear Shift function. The hardest part of fixing this is to run the wires from the bottom of the ECU to the cabin but patience is the name of the game.

I'm sure P.Fandango will be a needed asset if you are in knots.
