Nope no cat, 5” Diamond eye exhaust, AFE intake.
180/30 injectors, D66 turbo. If you can see my signature all my infos in it.

Nope, can't see it. Does the turbo spool up quickly? I read a previous post on low boost, how old/miles on the turbo? Have you checked for play? Air filter clean?

Turbo will spool decently when I get to 1800-2000rpm,
exhaust side is 310k old, idk how old the intake side it but it looks to be in good shape (I bought it from DanV on here) I rebuilt the turbo at 300k. No play, intake is brand new, like 2000 on it.

But the real issue is when I’m at 1800 rpms and the turbo should spool quickly, and I go and floor it, the boost will max out at 25psi and the back pressure will be at 26psi. Truck used to hit 40psi easy

Do you have tunes or Fooler to deal with the high boost and MAP? Maybe something is wrong on that end? Just trying to come up with ideas...

No fooler, both my mechanical and MAP gauge read the same. Mechanical gauge is on the MAP line.

I'm sorry... just watched the video. To me, it looks like there is air trapped inside the PS120 housing which has simply not been evacuated, though it's hard to believe that it would not have been displaced by now. The videos I've seen showing incoming entrained air are more disruptive and typically show air bubbles surging downward into the body of the strainer... not the gently rolling air which is in the top of your chamber.

One thing you can try is to disconnect the housing from your mount and tilt it so that the air can escape, and then see if it re-accumulates. If it does not show back up, then you've been chasing a ghost.
