You can extrapolate the fueling curve above this, as I have seen the paper graph that Ahmed refers to to do this, but as I stated, you would only normally do this when you go above the maximum reading of the MAP sensor. Obviously if you're running a T4, the scaling used should reflect (as much as possible) the range of pressure the engine is going to see. I agree that it isn't a good idea to use scaling for a small turbo on a big turbo.

However, I'm just trying to put all the information out there, so that people can actually understand rather than just jumping on the band wagon.
