Boost deviation monitoring protects the engine when actual boost doesn’t match target.
Deviation Types
- Underboost — actual below target (leak, VGT fault)
- Overboost — actual above target (wastegate stuck)
Common DTCs
- P0234 — Overboost
- P0299 — Underboost
Calibration Notes
Adjust deviation thresholds when raising boost targets. Verify turbo can achieve new targets.
