just set the gain to around 10 and the set gain to 10 and raise up the boost level a little at a time.

its pretty easy to learn how to use. do a search and read the nice write up on the evo forums to understand it more...

to 10? doesnt it go all the way to 100? i have my gain set at 69. it does spike a little sometimes but thats only if im in 6th and punch it while i'm going slow it puts a lot of load on the car and it spikes .5-1 psi above what it is set at. is mine set to high?

if you have the TN kit, have you downgraded the spring on the wastegate? The standard spring is 9lb on the TN kit so the controller won't work until you go past 9psi. You do loose a little through the intercooler, so even though the wastegate opens at 9 (pressure at the compressor), you will get cut off around 8.5 (pressure at the manifold). The controller will alow you to reach 9 or greater at the manifold, but if you are aiming for 8 you need to change your wastegate spring to 6lbs and then set the controller for 8psi. I do realize you asked about gain, but I wanted to make sure you weren't wasting your time.

Since I have a stock engine, I only have the boost controller (profec B spec II) hooked up to the manifold pressure (the controlling solenoid isn't even installed). I'm using it as a second gauge, the problem is it is only showing 50% of what my gauge is showing. They T off the same line and are only about a foot apart. The gauge seems to be correct, so my only guess is that my line to the controller is kinked. (i have the controller turned off, but it still displays pressure, in psi X100) at idle ~-20psi on the gauge shows up as -100 on the controller (should be -200), whats up with that?

The standard TN kit comes with the evolution wastegate, with a 9psi spring installed. This is designed to limit the power to levels safe for our stock engines <400whp.

However, safe is different for everyone, it depends on how you drive. If you are redlining, dumping the clutch, and racing alot, your engine will not last even if you only have 300hp. I have the TN kit, on my G35 with 70k miles, so even if I drive nicely, it may not last as long even though its at "safe" hp and psi levels.
