So this is from my other thread over @ http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=722784 where shiv recommends raising BCG for a pinned +5% Wastegate Compensation value.

This information contradicts his other post here:

where he says:

From what I've been able to see INCREASING the value when this is HIGH is the correct thing to do, I was able to dial out my +5 by upping BCG to 57.

If the original post was erroneous I haven't seen it corrected anywhere, should the other thread be corrected to avoid people ruining their boost targeting?

Good point......

IIRC didn't Joshboody post in another thread that he upped his boost control gain all the way to 100 to prevent boost overshoot after gear changes.

Boost control gain is a multipler to the base wg table. 50 is table as is. Value below 50 is percentage decreased across the table... Value above is increased %. Is you max wg comp at 5% increase your gain.

I actually like a maxed gain of 5% to reduce overshoot... But only minimally.

If you increase or decrease gain, reset wg comp in the cruise control menu thingy.

Ilma you're thinking of boost response... I may have mistyped somewhere.

Yup.....you did call it BCG

I was wondering because my boost recovery after a shift is perfect at gain = 50. No oscillations at all.

But thanks for the exlanation. Sounds about right applying a percent increase/decrease across the WG duty cycle table.
