Boost Gauge Maxed out

I've got a 2008, 6.4 Powerstroke. Yesterday my engine light came on. I noticed that the tranny was shifting just slightly harder. I also noticed my boost gauge was maxed out all the way to the right. My H&S showed 58 PSI for boost. P0234 was the DTC (Turbo overboost condition). The truck runs good except for the slightly harder shifts and blowing a little more black out of the exhaust from a stop. It's like the truck thinks it's under load (since it thinks it's got high boost) and is pouring the fuel and shifting a little harder.

I was thinking it was just a boost sensor but was told that there really isn't a boost sensor. The computer takes info from other parts of the motor which dictates the boost???

Anyone else experience this?

Thanks, Shaun

Check, clean and or replace your EBP sensor as well as your MAP sensor.......Most times EBP sensor will be plugged and cause the over boost condition.

Thank you! Good tip. I just replaced the MAP sensor in December. I removed it and made sure that it was clean last night. I will replace the EBP sensor. I hear the EBP sensor tube can plug also. I will make sure it all is clean see how it turns out. Thanks again.
