The fuel injectors....They can't squirt enough fuel to over boost the turbo even with a chip.

I love this question. It seems like there are a ton of people that can't believe the stock charger doesn't have a wastegate.

i get that all the time, especially when they hear the depressure from the turbo, they swear i am wrong and i have to let them crawl around under the hood to look for it. i also love it when we get into boost pressure discussions and they tell me that all i have to do to get more boost is crank up the wastegate..... they are stumped when i ask them how to do it on my truck.....lol
