Here is the information I found from calling the Greddy Tech in Irvine.

Note they don't have specifics for our cars so won't be able to recommend nominal numbers, you will have to determine these.
Also note, I am in the process of trying to unscrew my own issues with (overboosting).
We started with LO mode, told him I wanted 16 PSI, he told me to set my START at -2 to -1.5 of that target PSI as a good place to start my tuning. To close/high on the START will turn into Boost Spike. Which I'm guessing is that ramp up in Boost or Surging the car will do... which I also think leads to Overboosting but hey I might not know what I'm talking about just yet as I tinker with it.
Also he said to put my SET at 10% and add 5% until I am reaching my target pressure levels. I'm supposing I will have to feel this out but basically the way I understand it, the SET is how much work my turbo is doing to reach my START or target 16 PSI. So if 10% sees me making only 8 PSI, start climbing 5% and rechecking what numbers I get.
As far as GAIN goes, this affects Boost Creep and Fall Off, basically when I hit 16 does it start going 16.1, 16.2, or 15.9, 15.8, etc. He said to start with 5% and work my way up to 1% increments until I eliminate either of these predicaments. Obviously I want a static number.
WARNING set for whatever peak boost value you want a notification on (red screen flash). I guess if I wanted 18 to be my max in HI mode then I might go for 18 and change here.
LIMITER Subtracts a % of your SET when you hit your WARNING. Usually tuners with low boost go with 20% and high boost applications go with 30%. I'd imagine our cars fall into 20 or the middle (25) for optimal settings.
Note also, I am aiming for what I think is conservative... I remember my SRT stock being like 14 PSI so I figure 16 PSI on daily driving is probably the way to go with my S2 and other BS mods. 18 PSI is something I might want to kick it up to if I am getting competitive on the road. I may go for a 15/17, even more conservative model until I figure out what I am doing.
Anyone with more info or who wants to critique this, please contribute.
And Boll, you probably should just take it back to square 1 like the tech suggested to me and retune it. I know its going to be a PIA and be a few runs to get it at least somewhat properly situated but write down where you go from the beginning and all should be good.
I'll further report any findings.
