Has anyone had a problem with Torque Pro's boost reading? When the boost get up to around 22 psi torque switches from boost to a negative vacuum around 27psi. Truck ran fine hauling the boat today 70-75 mph. I do have a light tune loaded.
I don't know. The only time I return my truck to stock is during camping season. You could be right, I've never noticed the boost reading vacuum last camping season.
On a 45 min interstate drive hauling the boat I noticed the boost was hovering around 17 to 20 psi relatively flat ground. We get to the dealership and found a trail of oil on te driver side.
Got home to do some further inspection.
Oil puddle to the left side of the pic.
When I installed the metal pipe I torqued the clamps to Ford's spec. Perhaps it needed a little more. We'll see what torque will show now. Probably should have pull the boots off the and cleaned them.
I've returned the truck to stock and I still get a negative boost reading on torque pro. When the boost gets around 22 it switches to a negative reading of about 27. I can't say I feel a loss in power. Have no trouble codes. What could cause this? I don't think it's torque pro being I've never noticed this before.

I had that happen to me as well... Pick a new screen and select all the Boost gauges Torque offers and see which one works best. I think the one that worked for me was the "Ford specific" one, no more negative numbers...
My truck does the same. I don't know how the dynamics of how our vgts work, but they can't keep building boost forever. 20ish lbs of boost is what they make stock I just assumed then when they hit max boost they when into vacuum to keep out of over boost.

So the ford specific boost gauge is named map. May need to rename it?

I don't remember having to re-name it, so maybe that isn't the one. I do remember having to try different ones as the one I first picked would do that vacuum thing all the time... Right after I had my turbo cleaned, I was hitting as high as 32psi (highest) while the VGT re-learned. Didn't take long for it to settle down to about 28psi max and now I'll see usually 27s with a good WOT run - my truck has stock tuning btw. I think 26 - 27 range is what most consider normal max boost on a stock 6.0....
