if you can only see 10 psi max, then that means you have a boost leak somewhere. Untuned, these trucks will see up to 18psi, with custom tuning up to 30psi. I would start checking all your intake system boots for leaks, check your MAP line from the spyder to the MAP sensor, also look at up-pipes for signs of exhaust leakage.

Have you checked to make sure your MAP line is connected? Did you have the issue before the OBA?

i will check on the leaks. Would being in park be a way to watch guage or should the motor be under load when i check.

Not to hijack, but you're talking boost on a stock tune, so what should be be seeing say at 55% throttle position w/ 3000 rpm? Or 70% throttle, 2500 rpm?

You need to be under load to build boost.

Upload the pics to an album (created in your user profile). In the album, click on a pic and then below the pic are two lines of code- "Picture URL" and "BB Code." Cut and paste the BB code one into a reply. Viola! Pic in your post.
