Default Pectel monitor boost reading

How accurate is it? as it reads exactly 0.2bar more then my Stack boost gauge all the time.

My understanding is the Pectel Monitor info comes directly from the Map sensor via the ECU so infact the fueling is matched to that?

So which one do I go by?

Must be a degree of inaccuracy from the Stack i'd imagine, does this read from a pipe Paul?

If thats the case i'd deffo take the pectel as gospel

I've not tried another map sensor no, the Stack uses its own map sensor which is feed by a pipe which is about 2metres long, would it be losing pressure along this pipe then? I could shorten the pipe and extend the wires to the gauge, would that be better?

Less air travel i suppose resulting in less air lost along the way, but is 0.2 Bar much of a sweep? As long as the ECU reading correctly for the fueling etc?
