45 lbs boost?

It looks like that is max boost now.Anyone else get that high with a tune? I am not sure what type of tune Matt sent me but its got *****! The truck will putt around town on 5lbs boost and 800* but when you mash it moves out right now.I wish I had tried this tune out sooner. Now I need a short throw shifter! Oooh my,This is a sickness for sure.

Are you still running the stock turbo? Seems like a lot of boost.

I believe the stock turbo is capable of putting out that much boost with no problem.

Yes its a stock turbo.I was wondering if my boost should be pegging at 45, that my friends as you all well know is not even close to normal.I have no idea if it is what I should be reading so asked on the forum to see if others are getting the same numbers. Matt just said "you will like it".I hope its normal now because I LOVE IT. Rollerstud if you take this truck for a spin it will take you down mod lane.

Adambomb,oh yea its loud and doesn't sound anything like a one ton truck past 3k rpm.Doubledee, the boost is taken from the elbow and was pegged for 5-8 seconds a couple of times. King if I had of seen a cop I would have wished I could fly.lol

No, you need a TorqShift, then you don't lose boost when shifting
