Did a search and not seeing much. I am trying to wrap my brain around this thing. So the fuel box needs to be calibrated with the EBC during idle to a reading of zero or a hair under boost reading. Haven't tried yet, but the instructions say that the push to pass button is used during this process. Is it needed as I don't have that button yet?
The Duty Cycle is a percentage of something beyond my knowledge right now that I assume is what controls what the motor will see for boost. Is there a general rule of thumb as far as "X" percent equals "X" pounds of boost?
Is there then a general rule of thumb for what percent should be inputed for the ALT COMP area.
What exactly are the starting numbers for the RPM and PSI lo-med-high? Are they the 12/22/2008 ones found on the BD website?
I know with time this will all make sense to me, but I hate to scatter my motor trying to learn as I go. I hope Justin will be back soon, I think he may have suffered a concussion from hitting his head against the wall to many times.:D
Anyhow, anyone else want to start fielding my head splitting questions?:eek:

SnowJW once again comes through, Thanks!! Gotta say he is one heck of a guy for staying positive getting issues resolved! I feel pretty confident that I won't scatter my motor during the learning curve.:beer;
Jared is no slouch either I guess.:)

The numbers off the BD website are starting point numbers basically(safe).
I am far from finding what I want to run as far as octane and box numbers go as of right now. Have three rides so far and I think that I need to go to the 09 map as things aren't behaving consistently for me. The hard starting issue is driving me nuts and I find myself leaving my sled idling a lot to avoid it which isn't doing my plugs no favor. Is this the info in particular are you looking for?
