Setup Question: How do I setup Hondata's "boost by gear" Option?
So I'm trying to get some understanding of how the guy set up the boost by gear on my car. From what I gather, to achieve maximum boost the solenoid needs to be at 100% cycle which means to increase the boost at higher RPM I need to increase the duty cycle against the RPM on the middle table where the boost vs RPM vs Gear?

Yes to increase boost you need to increase wg duty cycle in the corresponding gear & rpm range. Start with small changes like 2-3%. Looks like the tuner setup your boost to come on more gradually, maybe for traction reasons? More info on your setup would help..

answered well above.
but if you're going to raise anything, do it in very small increments. sometimes a tiny increase in duty cycle can create a good sized jump in boost
also, look to see if frequency (hz) is listed on your boost solenoid. if the number in your map currently showing 78 does not match what's on the solenoid, it could cause some issues down the road
Re: Setup Question: How do I setup Hondata's "boost by gear" Option?
I'm not sure if Hondata works differently, on my eCtune system you input your boost target in the gear table and the software uses the "Pressure vs Dutycycle" lookup table to deliver the requested boost. On the screenshot you shared, the numbers in the table look more like dutycycle values rather than boost. Your lookup table also has a very narrow range (maximum of 21.7 psi) so that seems odd versus the dutycycle entered in the 3D table.
