You are correct. If gjnicholas does need to program it I do have these parameters:

TXD= 20
RXF = 8
RXD = ---
MTH = ---
Name = MWT
Degrees F

There was a link that someone had the boost codes. And the last part of the code was for the elevation where you live for "pressure". I'm not sure, but try a search for Scangauge and boost, you might stumble on it. I think mine might be set at wrong pressure.

I believe that is a true statement. But what do I know, I stayed at a Motel 6 last night!
