I set a 238 all the time. I forgot to ask Jody about it when I saw him last month. Anyway a buddy was getting his rig live tuned and had one of those boost fooler things. Or something along those lines. It may have been defective for all I know. I'm assuming these things all work the same. I may be incorrect on all counts. It was indicated the 238 could be removed via tuning if need be. Not a change in tuning but disable the code. However that is done. I reserve the right to be completely full of it. But thats how I remember it. LOL

Hey Pete. I put one of the boost foolers on just a week ago or so as I set that 238 code on my last hard pull this summer. I don't want to damage the map sensor, whether I would at 40psi or not I'm not sure, but the code was set so I put one on.
What do you mean by just a leak? I don't want to mess with my tunes, they work so well besides the last trip setting that code, and a little rpm fluxing with the cruise on at 70ish mph.
Ready for the trip tomorrow Glenn?

The UPS guy just knocked on the door, man he's running late!! He dropped off my TW chip!! Such good timing, I'll run the chip that I ran all summer tomorrow to see what I was missing with my leaks. Before I come home I'll try Tony's chip for comparison!

To be honest, I don't know what it would take to mess up one of these MAP sensors. I'm sure they can be hurt at some point, but I don't know if that point is 40psi or much higher or lower..

Now, how did you guess? LOL
I was just wondering, I'm not worried about it.

Boy,there is no damage control round here for them.
I WAS going to have clifford dynoed at rre just to see how he is doing.but now,I will just give my buddy an hr away and has done half a dozen or more tuning on projects a call. He is fun to go visit with anyway.I may discuss some live tuning even..

No clue. No gauge. I've never heard of a map sensor being damaged by higher boost pressure. Not that it couldn't happen.

Just got here, what a day. I thought we were going to get a early start, wrong! As soon as I got to the first stop sign I realized NO CAMPER brakes! Went back home and spent a couple hours trying to figure that out. Started up front and worked back cleaning all the connections etc. and the controller liked what I did.
My EGT's were better but not as good as I hoped. The power was smooth and responsive. The boost was really responsive, it would just jump up fast when called for. The cab was quiet and I would be speeding without realizing it because of the quiet. There is always a negative, to much turbo whistle!! LOL
