imo, you need to forget about Gauge pressure when tuning it will just screw you up. 0 psig will fluctuate with
altitude and
barometric pressure.
Absolute pressure = ambient pressure + guage pressure
Your map sensor reads absolute pressure usually its in KiloPascals(KPa)
9Kpa =~ 20 in-Hg vaccum (NOT 20 psi)
