What's your MAX boost?
I'm experiencing what I fear is too much boost, regardless of tuned or stock. I may have cracked or leaking CAC hoses, but that's just a guess. Let's see what kind of boost y'all are getting.

These readings are on my Quadzilla Commander (OBD? ...tapped from the MAP). Do any of you use an OBD type gauge or a Commander for you boost readings?

When I first installed my gauges, I tapped into the MAP line. Anything over 20psi got very erratic, so I took the advice of others and tapped into the elbow. I now have a nice, smooth reading no matter what PSI. Normally, just around 25 psi or a little higher - I don't push it hard for long.

I have gauges.. Not fond of the "computer" gauges..

I used to use the outlook when I had an all bullydog setup, but I will still reading below 30 for the vast majority of times and I ony hit 31 once and I was never able to duplicate it again with the triple dog. I had thought that the commander came with probes for the tranny and egt sensors and you could also have gotten it with the fuel sensor probe as well? To my knowledge other then those three sensors that I believed were for the commander, you don't usually have external sensors for digital gauges they derive all their info from the OBD-II port with the exception of the EGT gauge, that is the ony one that they have an external link for because the factory doesn't put a sensor for it and it is an important sensor to have.
