Got my first test ride in today did about 10 miles around the farm. Was dicking around with diagnosis mode and was watching the wastegate %. Mine was averaging around 35% (I'm guessing open) on long full throttle pulls. Curious what everyone else was seeing. On a side note what rpms, is everyone pulling stock?

Rode another 50 miles today and % is now up around 40 % no idea what the hell it is a percentage of. Also sled is pulling 200 RPMS more than yesterday after only 50 miles.!!!

Sorry I can't answer your question but how do you get to these modes on the gauge ?
Push both bottom buttons on guage at same time and hold. You then scroll till diagnostic comes up and push select.

Ok thanks wasn't even aware of this option
I believe it is in the FAQ sticky at top of the Sidewinder section. Lots of cool stuff. Including MAP sensor readings which can be converted to Boost PSI.

That’s called wastegate duty cycle percentage.
This is a percentage of on/off time the computer cycles the wastegate valve. The valve is pulsed on and off at a fairly high base frequency usually around 10 times a second. The larger amount of time the valve is turned on it blocks the pressure from leaking out of the wastegate actuator. Higher percentages create a higher boost levels. Sleds with high boost tunes will have a larger percentage of wastegate duty cycle.

Off topic but can we switch to celcius instead of Fahrenheit for the temperature

MPH vs KPH should change everything from US to Metric
Yes but it’s everything if I remember right.
