Boost ??
Here are some things that I have noticed with my new boost gauge installed.
Just driving around town I will have no boost. Doing 80mph @ around 2000rpm I have about 5 to 8 psi. On WOT its around 20psi. Are these number right? If im not on the gas I have no boost.

Jason, I have yet to throw a code with up to 30# boost. My lite has not come on yet. I don't do the high boost often, but when I do I get lots of turbo surge.
Wish I had an answer for you but I don't.

those numbers sounds right. you need to stomp on it to build boost (climb a hill), but I never really want to take it over 20. cruising on the highway @65 i see 3-5.

My truck with an SCT programer gets up to about 24-26 psi. Its about 3-5 on the highway at 70-75. I don't have the overboost annihiator. I think I'm going to get the wicked wheel next. Will that change my max psi?
