More advanced Wideband Commander (boost monitor)

As of now, i have my A/F, RPM, TPS all 100% set up in the wideband commander and software. However, the latest software allows for analog input #2 which can be pretty much anything you hook up to from 0-5V. Afterwards you can specify what the Volts correlate to.

Has anyone successfully got this hooked up to the boost?

Right now, on input #2 i just show an active voltage of .75 which increases sluggishly as i open the throttle. The actual TPS voltage is very responsive and jumps up to match the correct amount of throttle. I'm not even sure where this second input is coming from.

I just bought a 3 bar MAP sensor last week and am about to tie it in with my boost gauge hoses, and run the output of the 3 bar MAP into the Analog input #2 of the WBC.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I was wondering if the MAP sensor that comes w/ an electrical boost gauge would work.

BTW, where did you find your sensor?

I got mine from a large online parts vendor that sells a lot of stuff. Email me for details. I don't want to post a non-supporting vendors info here.

Great Idea guys, I'll have to get me a MAP sensor and try that also.

Thanks

Be sure whatever one you get it is a 3 bar sensor. A 2 bar will only go up to about 15psi.
