No need to mod it, the voltage of the booster varies with the 12V line (this by using an OCZ PSU). Tried again with 4,32V, display on booster only showing 3,9V. One problem is that the booster uses the 5V line as reference, if the 5V line isn't 5V the display on the Booster shows wrong voltage.
This is dangerous for people not knowing that, the 5V line must be exactly 5V and the 12V line must be 12V for the booster working the right way. With higher voltage on the 5V line than 5V the Booster shows lower voltage than it gives and lower than 5 it shows higher voltage.
Tested again with 12V line at ~13,9V, 5V line at ~4,6V, display showing 4,8V, actual voltage is 4,32V. With 5V line at ~5,8V, the booster only showed 3,8V, boster still giving 4,32V.
