yep, mine too, until I turn up the tuner box then I can over-ride the wastegate along with it and get about 43# tops under full acceleration. (like when I raced that Mustang from stop light thru the on-ramp, and up to the freeway.) LoL

25 psi, until you change out the boost elbow and add more fuel.

For most trucks a 60 psi will be plenty, If you plan on going big HP & mods, you will want a 100 psi...
