Default What's your favorite thing about VAGCOM

So I just got mine and was wondering what people use most often and how they use it. Also, I can't seem to find how to use it as a boost gauge. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

will be confusing to use as a boost gauge, it reads in mbar, not PSI, and you'll still need to do the math to adjust for ambient.

my favorite thing about vagcom? I can press 4 buttons pull/clear codes for people, and make them give me free beer. Last car I ran got me 2 deuces of homebrew. It was good stuff.

Some females might not like it at first but a little alcohol and they're all for it.

What setting or section do you go to in order to find that? I'm cool with converting until I get a real gauge.
