I recently was able to hook up my mechanical boost gauge. It reads 50% higher boost than what my cts3 gauge reads thru the whole range. Cts3 gauge reads what the tune is commanding. Mechanical gauge was checked for accuracy. I’m at a loss of what could be wrong. MAP sensor? Seems it would follow the tune if it was bad.

Is your CTS3 gauge an add on EAS device or is it reading the stock MAP sensor?
