Default Some questions about boost pressure...

Im running on an APR chip and when i do measuring blocks with VAG does that give the actual boost, meaning if i have a leak somewhere will it show less boost on there, or does it show the potetial boost, meaning what your car is putting out, but might not be getting because of leaks?

TIA

Default if your car is 2000 or newer it shows requested boost and actual boost.

Meaning if you had a leak there would be a significant difference between the two graph lines, as actual boost would be lower than requested.

What year is your car. You will get a fault if you actual boost and you expected boost are more that 50 millibar apart. Is your car pre 1999-you may not even have a boost sensor-just a made up computer actual boost from other sensor information.
