over boost?

alright, not to sure on this, money comes first then gauges, probably might swipe a few off some of our trucks if i have to haha, anyways i have stacks, with stock exhaust kinda, did it myself, own a truck shop, and waste gate unplugged, also have 6637 air filter, when i wot in 5th gear all the way to max rpm, about 140ish or so i see a light, the engine light blink on, i shouldn't be getting that much boost stock? i have a 18k mod as well probably around 16k though, but it is like stock? i shouldn't throw a code or get 24-25 psi on my turbo to throw a code stock? any ideas? also after replacing my o rings in the hpop after a failure i tightened and re tightened a few days after my ic pipes and all boots/clamps.
thanks
dan

Stock you shouldn't get enough boost to defuel plus you would feel it lay down on you, the light would stay on for a little while also. See if you can get your codes read and see what it is.

It could be defueling a little. My truck has a 6637, unplugged w/g, and the exhaust ends under the bed. With the auto in 3rd gear and the T/C locked, I can hit about 26 psi on a slight incline. The SES light comes on for about a minute and goes back off. Sounds like a jet taking off!

well it will set the light at 26psi. and yes it will go off after about a minute or so. But it is setting a soft code that is why the light goes off. Pull the codes and see what code it is throwing and let is know

I don't see how a basically stock truck will pull more than 17 to 19 lbs of boost.
