added some better ALT CMP info
So after using it a few times now, I thought I would share some info on it. Seems people have been looking for something like this, so I'll give it a shot.
first off the calibrating is easy to do. press the button on the ebc until you get to the altitude screen then hold it down for five seconds and your into the "pt cal" screen, put your fuel control box on the stats screen and watch your boost. as you move the cal number up it will start reading boost at idle on the fuel control box, so you want to adjust the cal number low enough that the control box reads 0.0 or slightly in the negative like -0.7 then your done with calibrating.
next your boost control screen (base DC) is the first screen in the menu of the ebc and should be reading 000 from boondockers. take your first ride with it set on 000, your boost will be rite around 7psi with it at a 000 depending on how you installed the wastegate arm. I found that a number of 007 raised boost 1 psi over the base amount. so you'll have to play with it to get it where you want.
push to pass feature is straight forward, set a low number and keep try raising it and try'n it till you get it where you want.
the "alt cmp" is again a lot of trial and error. I'm still setting this one but it does what they say it will do. once you set it at the proper DC number it does raise boost as you go up and lower it as you go down in elevation, how much depends on what number you put in. it will only go as low as your lowest boost you can obtain. ALT CMP should be set at your truck, it records your current air pressure when set, that way it knows when your going up or down from where you set it at and can make the DC adjustments. so set your boost at the truck then use the "alt cmp" to keep you at your peak power. if when you go up higher you need more boost don't change the alt cmp change the base DC number, if you reset the alt cmp at a higher elevation it will recapture the air pressure and you will be starting over from scratch. just remember to lower the Base DC before you head back down. Once you get this set you want need to touch the EBC again.
this unit works very nice, but does need your user input. not really what I thought it was suppose to be but it does the job they said it would, it just requires more input from me than I would have thought.
I'm not a pro but if someones got questions I can try and help or if I made a mistake somewhere I'll correct it.
