As long as the boost conversion formula in EvoScan has been adjusted for altitude, EvoScan is going to give very accurate boost values.

I havn't looked into it but the differance could be between a guage that is correcting for altitude. I know at my altitude that is about 2 PSI difference between guage pressure and map pressure.

Why can't we just use the Boost = <Data> - Baro Pressure converted to PSI? Actually...I tried to do that and got messed up readings so I'm probably just "calling" the BaroPressure Field incorrectly. Any ideas how to do this?

This couldn't be done with the Evo 7/8/9 because the baro sensor is in the intake track, but since the baro sensor on the Evo 10 is in the ECU, this can be done and makes sense to do. You just gotta work out the correct formula.
