Phoenix Flash problems, low throttle shift softening, Boost regulator.

[967.3L4x4]

My truck has been down for the last 5 weeks due to a striped planetary gear in the tranny. Got the tranny built and put in last night. Runs and shifts great. Quick and firm shifts. After running it a while I wanted to see if I could soften up normal driving shifts some and that is when I found out Phoenix wasn't working for me. I get it to communicate and everything but all I have in the drop down is "Blank". It has been a while sense I used it but I think it used to say something like "select file" or "upload file" or something like that and it would let me select files from my folder. I cant get that to happen anymore. I wanted to ask on here before I called Bill.

Next would be when I get it working how would you guys recommend softening an OBS shift. (no torque reduction).

Then finally I know that some people put a boost regulator on the MAP sensor so it will not defuel due to too much boost. I have custom calibrations from Bill and was wondering if this is still needed.

Thanks in advance.
