CASE

What is the object thing like button on the device? I've removed that…

It is used to ensure water and dust resistance, and is not switch or button or even dial.
If it has been removed, it cannot be reused.
Disassembly is not covered by warranty or repair service.

Even though the screws on the back side were loosened, I couldn't open the case.

The top and bottom cases are sealed together with silicone to ensure water and dust resistance.
It will not open easily.
Disassembly is not covered by warranty or repair service.

HARNESS

The connector of the USB cable cannot be inserted into the connector of the main unit harness.

To ensure water and dust resistance, a dummy connector is attached.
Remove the dummy connector, and then connect the USB cable connector.
Also, do not remove the white pin from the dummy connector as it has the same function.

Cannot insert the connector to the sensor.

Is the sensor in the correct place?
Refer to the installation manual for each car models and check the sensor place.

VEHICLE

The stock Boost Pressure gauge doesn’t work.

The stock boost pressure gauge displays the data from stock ECU.
This is a product that passes on false information from the boost sensor to the ECU in order to increase boost pressure, so it works properly even if boost pressure gauge doesn’t work precisely.
The exact boost pressure should be obtained by piping it from the surge tank.

The aftermarket boost pressure gauge doesn’t work.

This is a product that passes on false information from the boost sensor to the ECU in order to increase boost pressure.
The OBDII will show you the information (figures) spit out by the ECU that has been falsified, so even if the boost pressure gauge does not go up, it is still working properly.
The exact boost pressure should be obtained by piping it from the surge tank.

The check engine light comes on and there is an error code that has no relation to the boost pressure sensor.

If you get an error code that has no relation to the pressure system, you may have connected to the wrong connector, so check the connection once again by referring to the picture in the instruction manual.

Easy Writer

I want to edit the MAP data for extra power, how do I do that?

Load the existing data into Easy Writer and lower the value of the loaded data by -1 to -2 first.
It is possible to adjust up to ±25, but due to the vehicle's recognition limit, just because you put in -25 does not mean you will get more power.

The figures on the MAP data does not change.

Aren't you trying to change it with the numeric keys?
The value can be changed using the up and down arrow keys.

OVERALL QUESTIONS

Why is there a difference in feeling of power for the same vehicle model and the same figures?

Since each electronic component has its own biases, there will be subtle individual differences between enclosures.
We have verified that the differences are taken into consideration, however, please be aware that when you create custom data.
