Did you bypass the waste gate? Or like completely block it off? Because if you just pinch the line a little it should make anywhere from 15-30 lbs or so. Mines completely blocked off and I can only reach 37 WFO.

have you tried to adjust the elbow to lower your boost?

mine hits 38 to 40 lbs and i have to try hard to make it hit 1100 degrees usually at that boost level its 950 to 1050 but then im shifting cause i dont have a gsk. i think you can manualy adjust the wastegate on the trubo so you dont make as much boost but i could be wrong

if you've got an adjustable elbow why don't you adjust it down some?

a 2nd gen.cummins factory turbo/waste gate is not adjustable!
