04.5 and newer have the electronic wastegate. I think that the j w/a does boost fooling. I see 40 psi with mine on 3 at 80 or so MPH...

I have the Edge Juice WAM on my 06,

I run the alert set @ 40 and the boost limit set @ 38, been this way for over 15k miles.

Anything over 38 lbs of boost and the turbo will start generating it's own heat.

BTW I run most of the time on level 3, the trans seems just fine.

That's exactly just about what I've decided. Just stick w/ Level 3 and only play on 4-5 on special occasions.

Thanks for the info everyone!!! I've learned a ton just now!!

That's what I do. Mine is hot, and I can roll some smoke if I put it on 5 and get on it. Not good for the stock tranny though. Enjoy that thing, I'm having a ball with mine...

Same with me. I set mine on 3-3 and the boost alarm at 40 and it still goes off at WOT. I'm pretty ez on it now but tranny upgrades are next, until then....

btw -> The turbo on a '06 is a HE351

Thanks, Hut... Yeah, mine still goes off at WOT I found out this morning.

I don't think I'm quite ready to take the plunge on tranny upgrades. They'll come someday, but not now.

i would start putting $5 a week in the tranny fund...my buddy ran a smarty on 130hp then dropped to 90hp and the tranny went BOOM in less than 3 months.

just got it back last night from the dealer, they only gave him a new one because they didnt detect any performance upgrades

Hey, which Tough country bumper you got? I've been looking at the apache one. Do you like it? Post some pics of that thang... from the sig, I bet it's a hot looking rig. I REALLY MISS my 3rd gen... see pic...

Know of any more? I need to get one for my 06. all local dealers around here are a no-go they just have the plastic ones.

Congrats Megan!!!!!!
