How accurate is the Evo ,set on zero , PPE loaded , set on 160 ??? EGT and Boost mainly is the question.

It is just as accurate as it is with the Evo Tune loaded.

The only thing that will throw off the Boost Readings is if you add a PPE Boost Controller. It does that because it modifies the Boost Signal, and the Evo can't "de-code" it.

I have the Evo for gauges, HOT+2, and Boost Controller. Without the B/C hooked up, I can hit 34psi on the Evo, but as soon as I hook up the B/C, it'll only show about 17psi.

I'm gonna have to either wait to see if there is a fix for it, or get a Mechanical Boost Gauge.

One more thing. Will the speedo on the Evo recognize the corrected tire size from the PPE ???

Yep, still running 100% Bone Stock Tranny. Not even a TransGo Jr. I don't baby it, but I don't go easy.

Been running on Level 6 with the PPE since July 4th this past summer. Never limped once, never had a hiccup, running perfect. Just on the highway, you gotta ease into it. If I jump on it on the Highway, it'll chatter a lil bit.

Don't know about the Speedo on the Evo recognizing the PPE. I would guess it does recognize it correctly since it loads the file into the Computer, unlike with the Boost Controller, it's more of a Piggy Back. Ya know?

If you want EVO style gauges without the tuning look at the Edge Insight. Has the same display and plugs in the same way as the EVO for less money.
