My tunes are no start, stock, 60e, 80e, 120race, and 140 agressive. Each one just gets better than the last but if i do have as big of an issue as it seems to be i must really be missing out

Lets throw one more out there then...because even with leaks it should get somewhat better. Have you tried checking with a different gauge? For all you know, your boost gauge is stopping at 17-18psi and the truck is making more.

I guess you could unhook your OCR and go for a ride if you set your cel you'll know your getting better than 22-23 psi. Just a thought!

A big X2. I got my J. Wood VB from you and even though I had to wait a bit for cores to come in you kept me updated as to when mine would be shipped out, thats why I shipped my core out quickly for the next guy, great customer service period. As with all the sponsors here, I try to spread the wealth, as you will with "All" our sponsors and your appreciated here Dennis, don't forget that...Good luck with your continuing business.

Yes, that's normal with the stock actuator...unless it's "flopping" around that much. It should have tension holding it shut, but normal to be able to move it by hand.

if you have small hands with double joints, you can unhook the wg actuator and tighten up the rod some. I went two turns and my inconsistant boost readings went goodbye. It held boost much better and didnt fluctuate any afterwards.
Unhook the clip, undo the 2 bolts holding the can to the compressor housing, remove the wg actuator, hold rod with vicegrips, use small screwdriver through the hole to turn. Shorten the rod to apply more seat pressure.
