Default SECS Monitor max boost reading

I am right in thinking the max boost reading on a SECS monitor is 30.0 psi?
Cheers Rich

In theory yes as it probably only has a conception of a 3 BAR MAP sensor and thus the maximum boost it could read would be 2 BAR or 30PSI.

3 Bar, but in the options you can only select 2.0 2.5 or 3.0, so if you had a 5 bar would it just go all screwie?

My Apexi boost gauge reads 2.3 bar but the peak recall on the SECS just says 30.0 psi so I presume it's maxed out.

I think it is 30psi. See what the alarm limit is and I think that would be it

yeah if you had a 5 bar it would read all wrong, but simon did tell me he could re calibrate them to work. Would be ideal to run one on its own 5 bar sensor.

doubt it will EVER happen though
