I do appreciate the help you give.It's entirely based on your own experience. If in a straight line you spin uncontrollably in 2nd gear, and even a bit in 3rd like me, then of course set 1st gear as low as it will go, and 2nd gear down a good amount. Closer to stock power you might only turn 1st gear down a little and disable boost by gear for the rest of the gears.
but my question relates to properly using the settings to achieve a goal. Choose your map 6 rev range values, now change it for third gear.
My example was of a map 6 with 4 psi across the rev range. Now change 3rd gear to 3 psi across the board.
how do I make that happen? For "Max Boost 3rd", do I enter 1? -1? 3?
Does setting changing Max Boost 3rd effect 4th, 5th and 6th psi ?
Not to go rabbit hole on specific settings, but I'm more likely to have timing corrections and higher trim in higher gears for a given map. Since I spend most of the time in 2nd for autocross and maybe 3 to 5 seconds in third, if any, I think its possible to run a more aggressive map for first and second and pare it back in 3rd.
It might also be an easier way to pare everything back as the car heat soaks during an event, as opposed to creating multiple map 6 and flipping through them on the grid.
So figured I can find out how the settings work as a start.
