but with both i was using the monitor on it to see temp(does not due exhaust) and boost,etc now i see that the turbo back pressure is about 15-17 at idle and i got it up to 52 ..i think... now that is not the boost is it ??(-the 15 ?) because i dont see how it can have 15 or so at idle ? i hope not i heard you dont want you boost over about 30-32 on stock engine. so if it really went that high i hope i did not blow gaskets anyway ..more info from some one how knows more please

p.s. i did put it back on tow mode.. and under hard take off it feels like it has a little bit of a mis fire going on at about60mph ...little bit of surging and turbo fart at first.. did not surge the first time i programmed it. ?
I do plan on doing a cat delete soon, and exhaust gauge (this year)

The pressure you are reading is from the exhaust side. That's the pressure before the turbo blades, opening up the exhaust will lower that.
Get the guages first. Then you can see what is really happening.

ya i have the tune off of the truck right now, just got my cat delete pipe.. dont want to put it on till i get my EGT gauge that way i can get a base line before, then i will take it off to see the effect, then i will tune truck again.
i did noticed the night that i tested truck in high tune mode that the exhaust coming out of the tail pipe was very hot, not like it is with no tune.
thanks for the help, do you know why it might be surge when i have the pedel down and a tow tune on ? am it kinda feels like its sucking up the fuel faster than it can get it ?
