What happens in my case is that while the boost goes up, ICP pressure drops off while the IPR percentage continues to go up. He said that based off those numbers, I am either loosing oil pressure from the injector O-rings, a bad HPOP, or the HPOP is running out of oil, or the IPR is messed up. He believes it's the injector O-rings. He will, when time allows, pressurize the heads HPO and see if they hold pressure or bleed off.

thinking the same thing. Just tonight, tried to twist it, topped out at 14psi, pulling a single trailer w/ski (800lbs total). But more on the lines, the hpop is weak, for me. Oil pressure is good, not sure about IPR / ICP..

With mine, the ICP pressure can hit 3100psi very briefly, then it falls off to around 1500. As it drops, so does the turbo boost.

Skip the HPO gauge and get a Scan gauge...

Knowing the HPO is neat, but does not tell you the other part of the puzzle, Duty cycle. Without that number you dont have a complete picture.

It will look at anything the PCM will moniter, however you will need to add a probe for EGT, and boost will only read what the map see's. So if your using a boost fooler or running more then 27# it will not read.

I like it as a back up or a #4 gauge with the basic EGT, tranny and boost gauges.
