[quote=oldbird1965;11753403]I might have missed it Rich but where did you connect the gauge, map line?

Good question Glenn, I bought a brass barbed tee probably 1/4 in. I cut the hose or rather rubber tube that goes to the map (I think) added the T and ran another tube to the gauge inside the cab.

That's fine, that's how I have mine ran...

You are probably spot on with boost... If you had some custom tunes you would be up into the low 30's... That superchips isn't going to maximize those 1's...

Question

Rich,
Are you getting that boost psi without any load? I ask because to my understanding the high boost is getting under a load, so maybe your numbers are OK and you can get more boost with your mods. IDK.

Jose, yep that's with no load except my fat ***. I won't be able to put a load on it till some time next month when we take the 14k 5er up to the lake for the season.
