ScanGauge 2 on r53

Before you ask. Yes I have done a search. I seem to get bits and pieces but not how to. Please help

How do I set my boost for where I live about 1500 above sea level.

I managed to change it from MAP to Boost. But now I can not get it back to MAP to check it and/or set it to read correctly.

What I am looking for is how to get into the menu to change the perimeters to make it more accurate.

New scan guages that have a boost setting do not need to be set. The old ones that only have MAP do.
You can update the old ones for $25 by sending them to scangauge.
Just set it to boost and the gauge will read atmospheric pressure, set to zero, then read boost for you.

Thank you HRM Thank you. Mine is the brand new model. I have 15% oulley , cai , one ball, colder plugs and I saw it read 14.5psi. So I guess it is probably pretty close.
