Differential temperature - Differential temp sensor.

E-throttle 1, position MAIN - Input from E-Throttle 1 position input 1 (main).

E-throttle 1, position BACKUP - Input from E-Throttle 1 position input 2 (backup).

E-throttle 2, position MAIN - Input from E-Throttle 2 position input 1 (main). <-- Only used if using dual E-Throttle bodies.

E-throttle 2, position BACKUP - Input from E-Throttle 2 position input 2 (backup). <-- Only used if using dual E-Throttle bodies.

E-throttle 1, pedal position MAIN - Input from E-pedal position input 1(main).

EGT sensor 1 - 8 - Must be calibrated in deg C.

wastegate position 1 sensor - Must be calibrated in the 0-100 % range.

wastegate position 2 sensor - Must be calibrated in the 0-100 % range.

Exhaust backpressure - a pressure sensor mounted before the actual turbo, measureing exhaust pressures in the manifold. Must be calibrated in the pressure unit kPa.

Exhaust backpressure post turbo - a pressure sensor mounted AFTER the turbo measuring pressure in the exhaust system. Must be calibrated in the pressure unit kPa.

Engine oil pressure - Must be calibrated in the pressure unit kPa. Used on some OEM CAN system to display custom oil pressure in instrument cluster.

Engine oil temperature - Must be calibrated in deg C. Used on some OEM CAN system to display custom oil temperature in instrument cluster, or just used as a regular temperature sensor. If you have wired an oil temperature sensor to this input, select this.

External map sensor CAM reference - Must be calibrated in the pressure unit kPa. When enabled this sensor is used for the trigger system and the normal MAP-sensor is used for engine control. Useful for ITB bike engines with a manifold/bridge mounted MAP-sensor for engine control and a runner placed sensor for engine sync.
