How do you read boost pressure on the M2C?

speedsnice · 08-21-2019, 05:25 PM

Hello all, I purchased the M Performance Drive Analyzer and noticed it does not read boost pressure, what options do I have to read boost?

The app named Torque along with an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter would do the trick.

Will it work with an iPhone?

A p3 or awron vent gauge would do the trick:

The P3 looks promising.

If on the track, then you can log boost and throttle position with RaceChrono.

Here's another option:

was also wondering about this.. I got an adapter and bimmerlink, and on the website view of the dashboard it says "boost pressure" but I can't find that specific counter when I try to add to dashboard. What I did find was "intake manifold pressure" which when out of boost is 13/14PSI, and when I am boosting (still in breakin so taking it easy, half throttle, shifting at 5K), it gets to about 29PSI, so math says 15-16PSI at 5000RPM

Intake manifold pressure starts at 14psi (atmospheric).

So you just subtract 14psi from the reading on the app, and that's the actual boost pressure.

yup that's what I was doing (though I see readings down to 13 off boost, maybe a little vacuum), but was hoping to find a "boost pressure" like they show here

Anyone know stock boost on the US M2c? Sounds like about 15psi but if anyone knows for sure I'd be curious.

+1

I've asked this a handful of times, and no one ever answers.

The highest I've seen using my AK Motion Gauge is 18.5lbs.

Only performance mods are a AA Midpipe and Air filters.

I'm still in break-in

max I've seen is 15 in mid range mid throttle, lower rpm's boost seems to back off a little at mid throttle around 4500 rpm.

looking forward to getting through break in and seeing how she really gets up and goes
