Default Boost P.S.I.??

My boost gauge is all over the place when driving and I can feel it big time as the gauge is going nuts, my question and not to sound ignorant as hell this tells me I am having issues with the turbo correct and what would the options be for replacement?? Thanks

Did you just install it and you're having problems? Or all of a sudden it's going crazy?

it sounds like a transmission issue to me i can tell when my clutch slips and so can my turbo.
is it only under load or at cruising speed or at idle?

It has been doing it since I purchased it and I just had the trannsmission completely gone thru... It is going down the road at really any rpm the gauge flucuates and I can feel it in the truck as well???

When it happens does it feel like you get a sudden surge of power or lack of power? How much psi does it usually fluctuate?

Does it happen when cruising at a constant speed? Have you removed to silencer ring on the turbo?
