Hi

,
The drive is less sensitive to variations on the variable side (2,3). Even a small difference of a few ohms on the reference side can cause the motor to jump into emergency mode. Even small resistors (22 ohms) can cause noticeable instability at idle.
To make a meaningful adjustment here, you need to consider factors like boost pressure or engine speed (or something similar) to determine when to activate the resistor.
From a practical standpoint, it doesn't matter which side the influence comes from; 2-3 is easier to manage.
