That said please do not hesitate to issue a refund request, the last thing I want is for your to be stuck with something that doesn't work with your setup.įor my end I'll continue to work on edge cases and update the app as much as possible.įinally, my apologies for the support form not working, but I have to say I'm having no trouble accessing it: Strangely, I have a 2017 GTI and Boost readings work as expected, so it's sometimes not even a manufacturer issue, just make, model, year, and again, our ODB ports. Other codes may work in other apps, such as speed, RPM, and so on, but these are of no use for real boost calculations. If your reader, car, or both do not supply these items, the boost calculation simply cannot be done. The Windows operating system (OS) has native support for Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. It identifies and directs workloads to the fastest core on the die first.
It gets nerdy quick, but your OBD reader *must* respond to PID requests : `0B` For MAP and (not required) `33` for Absolute Barometric Pressure. Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 is a combination of software and hardware coupled with information stored in the processor. Unfortunately not all vehicles report MAP data, which is essential for our boost calculation. Thank you so much for the report, and my deepest apologies for the experience you've had! Both cars with 0 results with Boost app and results with other compatible apps.
If it’s any relevance, I tried it in both my 2010 Volkswagen CC TSI and 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. 100% disappointed in this app and regret purchasing it. Oddly, I attempted to go to the app support page for this app and that doesn’t work either. The faster you spin the exhaust wheel the faster the compressor wheel will spin. A turbocharger uses engine exhaust gases to spin up a turbine wheel (30), which is mounted on a common shaft (36) with a compressor wheel (32).
Within the Boost app, it shows that it’s connected but the boost value does not change when I’m fully on the boost. In order to understand how boost control works we first need to understand how a turbocharger works. But every other app that I connect to my ELM327 enabled OBD2 dongle works fine. Keep in mind that you may have a different experience than I’ve had.
