I can appreciate your wanting to add your input and that you understand what it does but you got to keep in mind there are other member asking me the questions I am answering on this thread. They are asking me how it works and what the risks are, not if you approve it or not but at the same time I am sure they appreciate your feedback, that's why these forums work.
I think I have been fair in saying there can be some risks involved and they are not for everyone including you.

I'll let you all know how it works first hand next week sometime, Innovative is usually pretty fast so I should have it Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I'm not too worried about it overboosting with the studs actually. I don't think these turbos will build more than 35psi and I've already had it there before many times. Also, I believe lubeowner was running stock gaskets with studs on his twin turbo setup producing 60psi. Anyway, I'll keep ya'll posted as to my results and what its like at the first of the week!

This looks like a good deal at $85.00. Question: is more boost=more power? If I can reduce my Turbo lag while taking off, I will be really happy. I have no tuner and I do not plan to do so with out studs. Please Dustball8504 let all of us know of the out come.

hey dustball you never got back to us how do you like it. I like mine the only wierd this is that my boost #'s spike. IE. they will not gradually go up 10,11,12,13... they go from 11 straight to like 20. i asked dave about it he said its normal. i am running tests with it plugged in and not plugged in with my tuner to c if it is beneficial. but what are your coments on the product dustaball?

oh sorry, I forgot about this thread lol. I like it a lot in my truck, Its a lot more instant boost but it never goes above 31 so its still on the safe side of things. I know what you mean though, I can cruise at 6-9psi and instantly be on 31 with a blip of the throttle. My egts are a decent amount cooler with it. Let me know if there are any specifics you're interested in!

What is the max pressure a stock truck will turn? I can't say I've ever seen my boost go over 22 to 25 psi. Is 31 psi high enough to have issues?

My truck on a stock tune boosts around 27 at WOT even with the boost builder in place, it just builds it quicker with it than without it. I have my truck studded so I feel its safe turning 31psi out of it.

That is why Ford holds a little fuel back until the turbo catches up, they do not want black smoke coming from their diesels especially on acceleration, unfortunately this creates a dead spot on take off. With all the green emissions controls surrounding the manufacturer by the EPA black smoke is not a clean impression. The BD Boost Fooler basically fools the computer from taking the fuel away and bringing the acceleration back.
Hope that helps

I had one of these on an 06. The boost does spike, but it is only on the factory guage. My auto meter guage did not show the same results. I would be running about 10-15 psi on the dash guage and give it a little more throttel and it would go to thirty. The auto meter would raise as normal. To me all this thing did was mess with the factory guage and didn't notice more power.

hey dave, ive got an 04 with 205 injectors, hybrid vgt, rebuilt trans with yalls torque converter, head studs, egr delete, custom tuned sct, and regualted return. im noticing quite a bit of lag from a takeoff and from what im reading it sounds like the electronic boost builder would help. my question is, if i bought one of these and didnt notice any difference, would yall refund my money if sent back? tia
