i have a safc in my car, and it only reads .45 bar at full throttle, and the car is running around the 11psi mark not 7. that is like the max reading it shows..

Make sure you use Cable ties or small clamps on all vac hoses:-)

I know what you mean Michael. The gauge on my EBC reads different to the SAFC. I've always just figured it is a conversion issue or something, never really worried about it.

You might want to check the actual voltage at the ecu wire to make sure you don't have a MAP sensor or wiring issue.

Michael,
Its probably just the SAFC not having the correct conversion table for the 1JZ map sensor mate. If it doesn't have listed (or it can't derive) what boost the current maximum input voltage corresponds to, it will be displaying an incorrect reading, some generic reading possibly.

it reads accurate boost up untill the .45 mark then it stops.

Well, the fcd will at least keep the same tune in there, not jump it around like the settings on an safc...
