Hey Crazy;

Thanks for the tip. I think I'm just going to let the truck sit until I get the gauge hooked up and operational. I have the gauge and I'm waiting for the A-pillar pod to show up in a couple of days. In the meantime I can get the boost gauge connected and the line run to inside the cab. Thanks.

Hey;

I have the boost gauge connected. Going down a flat road I get 2lbs boost. When I stomp on it the max I get is 10lbs boost. Are these two values OK? I did find a #49 spring at a Ag supply house, so I installed it in the manual wastegate modification. Things seem to be good.

sound like you got working right that 10 is mas stock computer so if it set code or defuel you just back off to 8 psi but think it should be good most stock puter will let hit 10 max

Sounds good. How much boost does it take to throw an over-boost error on a stock setup?
