boost

Is it normal for the boost gauge to bounce rapidly while on the throttle. when it starts climbing to around 20lbs It moves 1-2 lbs back and forth.i notice this since i got my tune back from Jody,he added drive true and improved the decel.My truck sounds different in tone,likes it a higher pitch then before i sent my tune to him.

Sounds like your turbo is surging, Chris. I know you have the WW, but that's what it seems like. Does it make any funny noises like "psst-psst-psst-psst..." or "chuffa-chuffa-chuffa-chuffa..."?

Either that or you have an intake boot somewhere that is lifting at 20 psi.

Oh yeah -- good point, Dan. Make sure those boots are tight!! A loose one will act like a blow-off-valve right when you don't want it!
