The tru boost can't run past 29-30 Psi without an adapter that is sold seperately but with that adapter you can run up to 75 psi.
I have a negative because that's the vacuum that it's reading. I'm set at 24 psi so my duty cycle is set to 65%. My race gas setting that Jestr did for me is set obviously higher but not too much higher or my DV would leak and throw off my whole setup.
High PSI where bouts in central jersey? I see very few evos's roaming around this area, but if you have any questions or need any help feel free to stop by bro.

The newer versions have the minus sign for vaccum. Older versions (like mine) you just know because the the lights around the outside aren't lit. If you check their web site I believe you can send you older version in and they will change it for you. Here's the link for the updates.

I've never tried raising the crack pressure( spring pressure) passed 6psi.. I just assumed I would spike even worse than now. I'm going to play around with it more because I dont have a good low boost setting. It's like 21psi tapering to like 16psi.

Ideally you should have it as close to the wastegate spring pressure as possible, which is 11.5-12 last I checked. My taper is only about 2 psi on a bad day 
. Set for 20.3 at the spike, I hold 19+ almost to redline.

Interesting you say that. The higher the crack pressure the more I spike and the more I taper. I set it today at 3.0 with 58 duty cycle and I spiked to 21 and held 20 the whole time untill redline.

If it works for you, go with it. Running that low I had issues with boost jumping around a bit, same for when I had it set too high.
