    Question on Baro Low Med High

    Under Engine/Torque Management/Turbocharger/Boost control

    Baro Low is 70 kPa, Baro Med is 82 kPa, and Baro High is 94 kPa.

    Is this refering to atmospheric pressure or boost pressure above atomospheric?

    It would seem that it refers to boost pressure above atmospheric but I just want to clarify.

    I assume that these are also referenced for timing base, Low, Med, and High Baro.

    This refers to atmospheric pressure used for altitude tuning.

    I checked the Baro in kPa across the country and it doesn't very much 102 to 112 on Weatherforyou.com

    I don't think it drops that low at High altitude but I could be wrong.

    Ted -

    It does get pretty low at extreme high altitudes - 10,000 feet will get you down to about 70 kPa from 101.5 at sea level (base conditions).
