Threw an overboost code

I got on her pretty hard and threw my first overboost code. Does anyone know what #'s you have to push to get this? Only asking because I do not have a boost gauge.

What code did you get? I can get a bit over 40 and never get a code. With you 180's you should make better than 30 psi.

Not sure what code #, I could find out though. I was in 5th gear at about 70 cruising. I Slammed it, leaving it in fifth. At about 3k RPM the light popped on. It wasnt an ICP code because I was still going and gaining. Pulled over, shut it off, and the light was gone. Thats why I figured it was overboost.

Rodney, is your tuning the type that wont show a code if you overboost? I know DP can burn it that way so I would assume TW could too.

Probably wasn't an overboost code. You can still gain speed and be in the power with a ICP code.
