Ndash boost reading?

Hey guys I got done installing my ndash yesterday. I already had a zt2 but only have a afr sensor and a rpm tap. I was hoping to pull boost from obd and I see that a lot of guys pull it easily through those Bluetooth apps. My ndash only reads boost up to a max of 6.9 psi. Am I doing somthing wrong in the settings? Couldn't find any info about it in the manual so any advice would be appreciated.

strange... well I guess I can either run a boost tap or it might be worth trying to get in touch with ndash or zeitronix and seeing if there's something that can be done. I'll keep this updated if I hear anything from them and if anyone has any more info on this please let me know!!

Are you using a conversion for atmosphere or going on map as it does stock?
Btw I would use a tap if I were you, direct with no delay

I only have two options, "MAP pressure", and "Boost (calculated)" I tried both. Boost shows 6.9 max and map shows over 20. Im thinking maybe I have a boost leak? And I know I was thinking of doing the tap but if I can figure this out itll work for now for my purposes.

Subtract barometric pressure from the map pressure reading and you will get the boost reading

3rd gear pull to redline what does it say? If you are stock and says 24-25 in map then that is correct because you have to minus 14.7 but you are in Denver so atmospheric pressure might be more

Id have to go back out tonight and try, I did see well over 20 yesterday though but I was more focused on boost. If thats the case and map is reading correctly then its not subtracting to right baro pressure right?

That's correct
The boost corrected is what you would want but need the correct settings in there or it won't calculate right

My ndash and zt2 both display correct boost from the obd2. Im in the process of fitting a boost sensor in the surge tank to read via the zt2 instead of from the obd2.

Whats your altitude? It would be a huge help to me if next time you have a minute can you tell me if you have the option to read barometric pressure?

Does your dashdaq show the option to read barometric pressure blackbenz? I've been talking to a rep from ndash and we found I can't read barometric pressure on my ndash and it's probably subtracting the sea level 14.7 pressure which is why I'm getting a wrong reading. If I can get this info from you and we find that your dashdaq can read baro pressure then a simple update to the ndash will solve the problem and they're willing to help! Please let me know!
