Wink SECS Expert Required ! Need advice..

Got a SECS Monitor - have no clue what 90% of it means.

Does anyone know what the operating margins are against each of these items..

Would like to know what I'm looking at but I suspect it will just make me more paranoid !

battery voltage
engine speed - ok I can guess this one
vehicle road speed - Seems to be different to the speedo ?
coolant temperature
intake temperature
injector duration
knock
lambda
throttle postion
boost pressure.
Oil Pressure
Oil Temp

Thanks
Pete

ps my car is an 06 2.5 Forester XT

Battery Voltage around 14v
Coolant temp anywhere from low 80's to mid to high 90's (all when up to normal operating temps)
Intake temp - whatever the temp of the air is at the MAF sensor
Injector Duration - depends on level of tune - dont worry about it as it will just confuse you
Knock - dont worry about it.... it doesnt mean det.
Lambda - dont worry about it... but this gives indication of whether your engine is running too lean or too rich, it will only confuse you
Boost pressure - depends on level of tune
Oil Pressure - Is this connected?
Oil Temp - Is this connected?

Regards,
Shaun.

Cheers Shaun - top man
Oil and temp will be connected shortly, have the sensors just waiting to be fitted. What will I be looking for ?

Knock was the one that had me thinking - am showing up to 7 degrees during boost, so this doesn't work instead of a knock link then ?

Wouldn't mind knowing the others tbh - just because they are there if nothing else !
