Just got the AVC-R running and I ran into a little snag (mathematical one)
So on the display and in the manual I guess it only displays boost in kg/cm²
and I don't know how that converts into lbs or pascals which is what my boost gauge displays.
Also, I just want to confirm what type of duty cycle i should be using. For example, at 3,000 rpms at stock boost (13.5 psi) should I be running 40% duty cycle or 70%? This stuff is a little confusing to me but I'm starting to wrap my head around it

This post helped me out a little but any more explanation on duty cycles would be nice. I appreciate the time anyone takes to read this.
Also found good conversion page here : http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm This was also posted by someone on this board in a random thread

I would consider taking your car somewhere to have it dyno tuned. There are quite a few places around you that have the equipment and experience necessary to tune your car and make sure it' safe...

quick stupid question (car is a 03 WRX):
It tells me to hook up one side of the solenoid to the compressor and the other to the actuator. I assume the compressor is right next to the front suspension on the passenger side under the black cover and the actuator is right on top of the turbo?
It asks me to hook up the third line to atmosphere but i know where that line goes which is father down from the turbo where the intercooler piping comes together
Here are some pics (click to enlarge):
Pic 1 is of the component under the black cover

pic 2 is of the component above the turbo

which one is the compressor and which one is the actuator?
