You will need some kind of a MAP blow off or regulator, to keep your map sensor from seeing above 22psi. At that point the truck will defuel.

See here...

40psi range is about where the head bolts give up, some go sooner some hold further.

Turbo is good for 25-30psi before its worth nothing more then hot air.
