those numbers sound pretty normal to me

Just cuz your going down the road doesnt neccesarly mean the turbo is going to stay at 25 PSI of Boost

I almost think my turbo boost will stay less than that at say 55mph I want to say 4-8 psi boost at that speed but not 100% shure


Does the truck seem gutless or something

Yea I drove it just now down the road to make sure i was telling you right. When im not on it hard it stayed around 6. I had a friend of mind look at it and he said it sounded almost like a shudder noise coming from the turbo. But you can hear it thru the intake filter.

Under no load my turbo is 5-8psi cruising down the hiway.you don't build much boost just cruising.hammer it from a stop and see how high it'll go.should be around 22-28psi when you get going.

This turbo seems fine accept for when i am going up a hill or it is idling. It makes a shuddering noise and i can feel the vibrations if im holding my foot on the brake pedal. I checked all of my exhaust pipe and it does not seem like it is hitting anywhere on the firewall or on the rest of the exhaust.

I am getting the same shutter no power loss but kind of a squeal or turkey gobble sound but I can accelerate through it. I have no idea what it is worried it is a sign of turbo failure help!

Could the exhaust work have possibly damaged the flex pipe thus not allowing the boost to build as it used to just throwing that out there
