So I haven't obviously done this yet. Was kinda busy mutilating some turkeys and trying to stay warm.
wow it was cold today. high of 27 I think. At least no snow. I think it's the 1st turkey day without snow for at least 8 years
Anywyas, I'm curious. What's the purpose of the red line? And what happens by plugging it?

Tyler you may have read my post a few days ago. I'm the one with no tuner in the truck hitting 23 psi boost. That's towing and empty verified by two different gauges one mechanical and one full sweep electric. It's also not "bone stock" either.
About three years ago everyone said stock boost was 15-17. Now it seems like everyone is saying 17-19.

It should have said "that's NOT towing and empty" I just edited that.

That was the "modified stock" days between turbo leaks... I actually got about 30-32 PSI boost with a tuner.

Ok fellas
Plugged the red line and went for a drive.
Tried it out and still only got up to 12 PSI.
So I changed the tuner to the "Extreme" tune, WOT, medium pressure on brakes while going up a nice grade hill. Got to 15 PSI and it took a few seconds to even get up there.
Time to find that(those) leak(s) right?
