Programmer and boost
Got my truck back together and took it out a few times to see how she runs. Couldn't get more than 17 pounds of boost. Found a small boost leak and now she'll give me 19psi. I was really expecting more. Just wonder if maybe I had a DP tuner it would be better. I have the Turbo Master turned all the way in. The search continues for more leaks but could it be the programmer that is not allowing higher boost numbers?

I think you would get more boost out of the DP-TUNER. Have you looked at your up-pipes to see if they are leaking? If you see soot on any of the connections, you are loosing boost. I don't think 19# boost is really bad for what you have.

I saw about 23-24 on my gauge today. I have heard that stock our trucks will only do about 22. However I do have a wicked wheel and I tightened my rod on the valve to keep it from loosing boost. I would think you would get more than 19 with what you have also.

The very best I get is, 16 MPG on the highway. I have 4:10 gears, plus being a dually. I don't know what I get in city driving. Not in the city much. lol

Spent some more time trying to seal up any leaks. Think I fixed the problem. Took the truck out and put the pedal to the floor and blew the intercooler pipe out of the boot. So, I need to get some decent clamps and then try it out again.

I agree with you on the stronger parts when you have the VC's off anyway.
