I have a TCD that does not allow accurate boost logging via VAG/ECUx, but I'd like to see some data comparing the two. Thanks to anyone that actually does this.

Didn't notice any significant discrepancies here.
While my car was on the dyno on Saturday, I manually observed the numbers in the display while ECUx recorded.
Figures seemed inline, but I suppose I could try for a video.<ul><li><a href="http://www.flwse.com/images/steve/Audi_Tech/ECUx/4runs_compare_graph_chris.htm">http://www.flwse.com/images/steve/Audi_Tech/ECUx/4runs_compare_graph_chris.htm</a></li></ul>

n00bie response
My EFU showed a max value of 16.0 psi, with a logged max value of 4600 mBar absolute.
Was noodling around with conversions and the FATS template, but ran out of time. Could someone show me the light?
Thanks,
Chris

4600 mbar absolute !?!? Wow, that's way more than 16 PSI.
You are asking for a conversion of mbar to psi?
1 bar is 1000 mbar
absolute readings include ambient pressure (actual boost at idle) so you need to subtract that.
~14.5 PSI is 1 bar
If you were to convert your 4600 mbar absolute to PSI assuming 1000 mbar (1 bar) atmospheric pressure, you'd be making ~52.2 PSI.
4600-1000=3600, 3600/1000=3.6, 3.6*14.5=52.2!
