Defuel?? maybe they do!

here is some good reading for those of you running high boost numbers with big fuel. I have felt this on my truck and installed a regulator in the MAP line and seem to have noticed a difference. Won't know for sure till I hit the highway so I can stretch my legs but this thread provides some good reading! When I felt my truck doing this. it felt like the rev limiter but I wasn't reving near red line. I felt it once before my IC install but now I can keep in the throttle longer and in the boost longer so it more pronounced. I also was able to hit 30 PSI yesterday and before the regulator I only saw 28 with the IC installed. So maybe this myth about OBS not defueling is Busted!

From what the TDS thread says Jody from DP-tuner has caught it on a scan tool. No codes or anything. its may not even be strategy of the computer but the MAP signal gets messed up at high boost. Like the sensor can't handle it.

Hey hows is your buddies RSK and superduty springs going?
