This will tell you if you have a boost leak:https://www.dieselbombers.com/dodge-...tructions.html

You may just need to adjust the wastegate.

swap out the glowshift for a different gauge I would not be surprised if it's off. Plus your smarty is not going to give boost numbers like a edge comp or similar product will.

Yea I agree. I've been unhappy with these glowshift gauges.
