exaust back pressure
First post wanted to thank everyone door the excellent forums here. Reading here helped me huge when my 07 f250 started acting funny with the egr. Went with the egr delete, new oil cooler, coolant filter, blue spring upgrade and a act livewire tuner. And has been purring like a kitten ever since. I have been watching the gauges on my tuner and am curious about the exhaust back pressure So where should it be and where should it never be? Just wondering as I have been watching my gauges and would like to start setting some warning levels on it.

I was told it was because of the cts and the pid's? When I asked why mine was reading unlike anyone else's.

I'm not sure. I don't even know if it is correct. That's just what I was told. A lot of the reading I have don't on the ebp issue all say what you said earlier and being .5 or so the same. Not sure why edge would be different

I know on our Dashboss, you can pick "absolute pressure" , backing out the barometric pressure component.
I guess it's so one can match up with other components for comparison.
His reader my be much the same with zero not including BARO.

But theoretically I suppose for example if Baro is 14.7 KOEO with EBP 0 then at idle the supposed reading is actually around 16-17 psi.

I know nothing about the Edge CTS, so take this for what it's worth.....
No, it does not seem right at all. If the gauge is not "supposed" to read accurately...what would be the point of having that gauge in the unit?
Who told you it wouln't read correctly, someone at Edge....or one of those know-it-alls on the internet forums?

It was on a previous thread here. I will do a test and see if it changes while messing with the pigtail.
It was said that the cts doesn't account for atmospheric pressure on ebp so it's not added in. I don't know what's right or wrong. I thought about just changing the sensor and see what that does

My Insight CTS does report EBP zero at KOEO and around 3 PSI at idle, I'm not sure why it reports it this way, the only thing I can figure is it the way its programmed. If it was really reading that far off I would expect it to throw a code. I just figured it was reading PSIG instead of PSIA.
