Hi, under full throttle the top two lines on the boost display don't light up. Three months ago they would light up, I'm wondering if I'm losing boost somewhere in the system or is that the norm that the top lines don't light up.

This is one reason I wish Honda had just given us an actual gauge with actual numbers rather than this ambiguous "turbo meter". Or at least give us the ability to have the meter output actual numbers.

I've been running 0-60s and 0-100s lately, with a ktuner hooked up. And I've noticed, on stock, boost was not hitting it's mark.

Silly question, but would Torque pick up boost numbers accurately?

I had some trouble with it. Could be possible tho. Good news is, I'm pretty sure the lower boost Levels are being done by the computer. Not the engine itself. The ECU likes to be extra extra safe with this model
