Default edge questions

I recently put an edge comp on my truck and like it but... I don't feel like its 120 over stock by any means I'm not sure if I screwed up on the wire tap. I put the elbow on and with that I was getting 21+/- Max boost on 5x5 I feels like its refueling. So I put a plug in there instead of the elbow to see the difference not a whole lot 24-25 Psi.

What's your boost numbers?

I checked connections this morning everything seems fine. Took it for a ride and on 5x5 the fuel pressure doesn't drop any lower than on 3x5.

When I had my edge comp on with adjustable wastage it was nothing to hit 35-40 lbs of boost. What's your fuel pressure like?

Ya... that's what I was afraid of. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I'm out of town for work right now and don't have my truck down here so no fiquring anything out for now. My fuel pressure is good I guess 15-16 at idle and haven't dropped below 13. I will probably bump it up closer to 20 when I get home.

Maybe my gauge is jacked up I have another nib isspro. Maybe ill throw it on and check stuff out again. But my seat o pants meter ain't reading anything close to 120 extra ponies. What rpm range should I see peak boost I'm not real big on rapping out the gears. Maybe I just don't Rev it up high enouth to see all the power

set all your sub levels to 5 so 5x5 4x5 3x5 2x5 1x5 if you have an older comp box some of them had issues and need all sub aka prefuel settings to 5
