> Most electronic boost controls have both a boost target and a gain/duty setting. Setting the target boost without tuning the gain (or solenoid duty cycle) will result in some less than ideal boost curves. If your gain is not set correctly, you will not be able to hit and hold your boost target.

yes, on the manuel they have a suggestion for gain for the s13/s14 sr20det. Its 20. I set it on my boost control.

But when I set the boost target, I cant set it in bar or psi. Its in %. I set it to 20%  
They say in the manual that 0% is the stock boost and 100% is the max boost the turbo can do. I set the warning and the limiter to 1.1 bar
