I belive that's what the stock, unmodified wastegate is set at.

Re:Max Boost

Even if you defeat the wastegate you will never get above the 20 lb range as the manifold pressure sensor will cut off the fuel when the boost goes above the factory settings. You can defeat the manifold pressure sensor with one of the power booster computer kits, and get a bit more pressure.

Re:Max Boost

what will unpluging the map sensor do? On my friends truck with a 70 hp fuel box it made it smoke and run around 32 psi of boost.

Re:Max Boost

Dman, your friends fueling box has a boost fooler on it. What that does is trick the MAP sensor into thinking it is only seeing 20 pis when in fact it is really seeing 30 or so.
