voltage is mega erratic though, but put some lag factor into ecu to help smooth it's operations out a little. there is an electrical gremlin that has plagued me for a long time, somewhere in the old loom is a problem, but that could be a goose chase and a half.

in the instructions for the gizzmo it said to start the duty low and set the gain as high as possible and in most circumstances this is the highest setting. or words to that effect, so that's what i did and not had issues with surge until this turbo was fitted (obvs a wastegate issue though in this case now).
You do not have surge, you've already stated that.

And if there was a tear in the diaphragm you would be getting far too much boost, not too little.

And I suggest you read the instructions as to how to set it up. Because they do not say what you have stated about gain etc.
