Outlook off by 8psi, analog boost gauge

I picked up a 60psi gauge and got it hooked up. I've had a couple of boost issues so I figuredI needed an accurate display of pressure. Anyway, at my max boost Outlook showed 24 max and the analog was 32. At 20psi on analog, Outlook said 14 and 15 analog was 10 on Outlook. Just thought I'd post it for anyone interested.

Part of the problem is that the outlook is reading off of the MAP sensor and is seeing something different than the Analog gauge. I run both, but I have a boost fooler so I never see above 32-34 on my outlook.

Were you having problems that caused you to get and analog as well?

I thought I wasn't building enough so I wanted to know for sure.

Which is pluged into the factory map sensor on the block the dr.p box or the outlook this could be your problem. I have had this happen a couple of times with my old outlook on my 03.

I can't remember, I think Dr P is in the block, how should it be?

That is a great question. I do not think you will get an accurate digital reading from your outlook, with that many things plugged into the Map sensor. It may mess with the voltage to much. I would pay more attention to the analog gauge for a more accurate reading.

Chris, Might have better understanding on that set-up and which goes first, but It throws me for a loop!
