Here you go mate..

Make sure you set the duty cycle up before changing the Gain.. When I upped the gain more than 7 on mine the boost tended to creep up a bit over time. When you turn on the ignition it flashes up it's 'target boost' always keep an eye on this. Like I say though, as long as you keep the gain at the right level it shouldn't go up.

HTH

great little controller

The creep issue is why I removed mine, I spoke to a few tuners that sell the unit and they said they had fitted loads without issue but myself with the Cosworth and a mate with a Evo both had the issue of the boost rising

Never had any problems with the last one I suppose it depends on the car and how it's set up
