I can hit 23psi without any programmer or chip, or any changes to the wastegate, thats with a free flowing intake though, that made a big difference on mine.

Cool. Consider yourself lucky, very few people get that kind of factory build.

[QUOTE=cookie88]Yep, although it might be the Predator. Just for kicks I loaded the 100 horse Predator program on my truck today, and it barely made 24 psi. My truck will make low 30's easily with my chip. What kind of boost are you making with the stock programming?

Hey cookie there is no change in boost from stock to program and also with the preditor when I acclerate its not smooth through the RPM range it jerks.Could my turbo be messed up?

Ive read about the wicked wheel could that help me or is it a waste of money, and if not a waste are they easy to install. Just curious thanks

At ths point I doubt it's the turbo....kinda sounds like a programming issue. Have you tried any of the other files on the Predator?
