Boost. VGT duty cycle(make sure turbos functioning properly). IPR duty cycle. FICM main power(looks like the logic board is right with your alt./ battery voltage which is good). a mechanical Fuel press. gauge is always a good idea. Make sure EOT and ECT stay within 20degrees. hmm.. that's a good start

A Couple numbers you should clarify. First ficm start up at 14? Also the 180 oil and coolant is a bit low what temps are you driving in?

Yep my everyday set up is ect,eot,ficm volts, and system volts and scroll through and look at icp, ipr, vref, and ebp every now and then just to check on things. Thats on my scangauge. If im having a question on something else I plug in the torque pro and look at pretty much everything (6 pids per view) I think I have 6 or 7 screens worth set up right now.

If your saying your ficm is sitting at 12 and 13 volts with koeo you have issues. What does it read when you start. It need to be some where about 47 or so.

The logic side of the FICM will be battery or charging voltage. He said main power is 58v. IPR at idle should be 22-27%. VGT is probly gunna be 40-60% at idle but should cycle from 15%-85% when idling for a while depending on pcm software. Always keep an eye on battery and charging voltage.
