Default map scanner vs boost gauge not accurate

alright lately im having an issue. when i log my map and its set up for 3 bar. the scanner doesnt read as the does boost gauge does. when im in boost well say 5psi im scanner isnt reading accurate. i know im in boost the BOV goes off around 5psi. it takes me around 10 psi for the gauge to go above 105kpa. the other day they both worked the say then i make some changes to the tune and its been like that since. i also redid the map connection since it blew out of intake so now its on a barb with a hose

another question is on my Table in the scanner it has the MAP for 3 bar on there but its measured in psi and not kpa...how can i change that?

i also have HPT

You are probably logging the wrong PID in the scanner. It's been a while since I set mine up, but you need to pick the proper one or you'll get screwy readings.
