So i went and bumped my timing. I tried to get it as close to 1/8 in. as possible. I might be a bit over its hard to tell, but when i started running the truck today i noticed that i lost roughly 4-5 pounds of boost. normally i can get up to 23-25 pretty easily and now im hitting 20-22 pounds of boost.
Has anyone else experienced this after bumping their timing? or did i screw it up?

 

Add more fuel?

How do you like the alcans and bilsteins? I might go that route but only 2'' lift.

 

Yeah I love em both. I had to move the rear hangers back 3 3/4'' but other than that smooth ride.

 

losing boost is normal with the timing bumped

 

Have you played with the starwheel? Might help light the turbo quicker like it did before the bump, gain those boost numbers back.

 

Yes I hear it is normal,
I went from 56 PSI boost down to a more conservative 40ish PSI boost. (still off the end of the gauge)

What and where is that???
Also i did the bump for the fuel millage. Thinking maybe a lower boost will help my mpg? but still want to know what the star wheel is tho.
