Heck,you've done this much.Just go ahead and add an mp-8 to the mix for the pressure and it will do your boost fooling as well.

I have an MP-8, and I still get the overboost codes.

I had a quadzilla boost fooler, and it worked great, cheap, easy install.

Thats crazy how a handfull of trucks have this problem.I have hit 55lbs with mine(not good on a 62)and have never got an overboost and I know many others running twins that don't need the quad fooler.

I could not tell you for certain over 44 lbs, so I'd call qzilla, and remember who you talk to when you ask them. Then, order it through the DTR store if you get it, you'll save some $$...

I have pegged my gauge at 60 with my 62
MP-8 here also and I never have received a overboost code. That is weird, my truck is a 05 just like Mads and they act different. I love my MP-8 because I have pressure on demand so I dont have to tear up my injectors running pressure all the time.
