Still Boost Problem, Possible reflash needed?
I went to the hardware store today and built one of those DIY boost leak finders, set the AC at 20 no leak bumped it up to 30 still no leak. i got some soap out figuring i woudl be able to see bubbles and still nothing, not around the spider, not around the IC boots nothing. No soot on the uppipes. i have absolutly no idea what my issue is.
Do you guys think that i could need a reflash on my DP tunner, I got it a month or two ago when i sold my other truck, i just am curious, i have the loop idle on thre which is suposto make smoke and it dosent do a think....

What is your boost issue?
As for the lope and smoke tunes, they don't work well on my truck either but then again I don't care because I have no use for them. I think I remember him saying those tunes work better on trucks with bigger sticks and I also have to start it in that tune for it to work. Otherwise it sounds like the drive thru tune, which again I have no use for so it's hard for me to remember exactly.

If your up pipes are leaking that will cause this also, I know you said they are fine but they are very hard to inspect.
Edit - ahhh never mind I think I see you have a waste gate delete done.
