well if you beat me to it let me know how your build goes bud. we are welding up a spare manifold we have laying around, and making a new intercooler pipe. picking up my he351ve this sunday, found a smokin deal on craigslist thats near my house. now just need head studs, 150 hp injectors and the hx40 downpipe. and eventually fleece controller of course

I just had a code reader on my truck and I had the code P0234, Turbo overboost condition..
what would have caused this?
All I have is in 4" TBE, K&N drop in, silencer ring gone, Raptor lift pump and a stack I'm waiting to put on..

Alright I got my edge comp back, and installed. I'm only seeing 17lbs of boost max. So definitely got a leak somewhere. going to Lowes here soon to get my parts needed to make a pressure checker.

How do you check the waste gate for sticking issues. And where to get the parts to fix it, if that is the problem.

While you're at Lowes you might go ahead and get a turnbuckle to keep the waste gate closed.
