Boost Question

Hey all. I was reading some of the threads out there on increasing boost. I am debating on getting the big head from banks, but thought you all might have some other ideas. I tried taking the hose that goes to the waste gate off like some of you have suggested, but according to my gauges the boost didn't improve, nor did I notice any thing. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

thats right around the stock output of the turbo but if you pinched the wastegate pipe or took it completely off you should be seeing better numbers then that. are you sure that you un plugged the right one? if you did then i dunno whats goin on, but i know you should have better numbers then that

you have to unplug the red waste gate accuator tube and plug it, most people find a screw or a already plugged inlet to use. i will say that if your truck is stock then 22psi anit too bad.
