check that. your "actual" is 50 mbars higher...at lower RPMs. unless I'm looking at this completely wrong.....
You are right, I THINK (not 100% sure) that the reason is that the sensor is reading atmospheric pressure only (no turbo boost) which is about 1014 mbar (which happens to be above specified but the pressure can't be less than atmospheric pressure... right?).
what I meant was at the high end. the spec boost seems to also be reading the atmospheric pressure, as the values are similar.

These are just pictures that are pretty self explanatory, not a DIY, but I guess it could be turned into one. I used 2" pvc piping according to the instructions in the link above. I thought I had read somewhere that you need to plug the throtle body hose so I tried plugged and not plugged (connected back to tb.) My neighbor was supposed to let me use his air compressor but he copped out. For fun, I hooked up a bicycle tire pump. I could hear air leaking somewhere around the airbox, and just check the pics..














It was rotted on the bootom and completely not visible from any angle looking from the top... Sneaky...
While I had the pancake valve for the evap out I cleaned it out with carb cleaner, and when I was done it looked like someone took a crap on my garage floor [:@]
So Im not sure if that rotted out check valve would be responsible for the negative deviation code somehow or not.

Thanks!
Here is a temporary fix (plumbing thread sealer tape.) Its sealed really well and the valve still works like it should.
