Pretty interesting to see how all of these sensors are interrelated.
Here's a couple of pics of my Dashboss data showing how the pieces of the puzzle work together.
The first pics shows how the egr seems to work in reverse of the other commands, the second how sensor voltage dictates the resulting operation.

Wow I didn't even know my dash boss would do that lol. All I know is with the proper (lower) EBP readings I have more turbo whistle at idle and less turbo lag, which makes sense to me because the computer is closing the VGT more (higher % on my gauge). Also I noticed my EGR is still getting commanded open sometimes even with that function shut off from my tuner. I've compromised at the trans tune only. Shifts better. The boost is definitely better than it was but the real test will be in a couple weeks when I hook onto the camper.

Speaking of vgt's, I ran another test comparing vgt's to ebp's, baro, and map.
As you can see, it looks like the ebp input is inverse to the vgt's. That tells me that if the ebp is plugged, you can understand how the vgt's input would be affected.
The Baro of course stays constant while the MAP stays the same as Baro at idle but slightly follows the vgt cycles.
With your Dashboss, set the parameters per page and then record, either at idle, or like I did, revving the engine twice.
With your IPad, take a screenshot so you can post.
Nice stuff. Enjoy.

If I don't forget I should get a photo of the IDS turbo test screen.

Sorry what is the IDS test screen? Is this a test I could run on my Dash Boss?

IDS is the software that is used with the VCM2.
It's what the dealer uses to talk to the computers in Ford vehicles.

Sadly you can't run it on other tools. The graph that it makes is worth
looking at to compare how VGT, EBP and MAP are related.
