Edge CTS Accuracy

I checked the "records" section on my CTS today on noticed a boost number of 25 psi. My truck is stock with no mods. Should I be concerned about the boost number, turbo issue or is CTS not quite accurate.

Thoughts?

I have always found mine to be pretty accurate. That being said, I just did the update 2 days ago so I could put it in my '13 6.7L. I used it on a 6.4 previously. Have you by chance updated the software t the newest version??

I have hit right around the boost level when pulling (via the stock gauge reading). I would say that is accurate info.

25 here too!

Accuracy is a function of the sensors used and the PCM's method of interpreting the output of the sensors. The boost number comes from the PCM and is merely displayed by the Edge.

Yes 25psi is correct. Tuned 6.7's are only running 29 max. Any more than that and the turbo goes south.

Most of the tuners set the truck to defuel at 32 PSI. Anyways, I have seen 25 PSI on my stock F350 as well.
