Can anyone recommend the PC software to read the boost pressure and log it?

Are you sure? Looks like racechrono is a gps logger, there is no OBD connection.

yes i am
you just need a compatible obd adapter ( some tested combinations: http://www.racechrono.com/forum/comm...&page=1#Item_0 )
i use a elm327 and it works just fine with my mini

you can log GPS data ( via bluetooth gps ), obd data ( bluetooth, serial or usb devices ) and 1-5V signals ( via a special board... )

and after you finished recording you can use racechrono2avi to include that data into a video

looks different from the one i have, but thats probably cause mine is over 2 years old
should work
but knowing what i know now... i think i would go with a bluetooth one if possible ( less wires )
+ you dont have to use a laptop, you can use a smart phone ( race chrono is available for windows mobile, Pocket PC an S60 )

Mynes Bytetronik software samples 30+ times a second which is way more then any off the self OBDII logging software. Rule of thumb with datalogging the more samples per second the more accurate and precise logging.

The question you have to ask though. How much accuracy am I after and how much is actually needed?

Accuracy/speed of data is priority #1 in datalogging. If you fall short and get an off the shelf OBDII datalogging software those brief periods between samples you could have a high rpm misfire, high rpm lean condition, etc the list can go on with the possibilities in what could go wrong in those gaps of time between samples.

So if your wanting to make sure everything is running at peak performance you need all the accuracy and speed of data you can get.

They do have a website mynestuned.com but the best place for info is their forum. They don't have a demo version because its not your average datalogging program from those big companies that have rooms of software engineers writing programs.
