boost fooling

I have a PPE programmer and TST stack, II Silver Bullet charger and Con-FE clutch. Currently hitting 40lbs, I want to turn the boost up a little bit....with the TST do I still need to get a boost fooler or do I just adjst the set screw on the wastegate for more/less? Truck is an 03 standard output.

BTW I already know I need head studs, they're coming soon, thanks in advance.

Do you have a better than stock LP? If not, that may be your problem. Not enough fuel to feed more boost. You can try adjusting the boost with the elbow though.....

wow zilla, late night? lol! As of now I do not have a pusher pump, but I plan to get one within the next 10 days or so. I still have quite a bit of smoke. The boost will shoot up rapidly once it lights to 40 psi and just stay there.

I'm going to start a new thread that will hopefully attract more attention. In the meantime I have found that according to my mechanical gauge on the piller the turbo made 55 psi today. I have my fitting in the backside of the intake elbow. So now i'm confused as to why the TST reads 40 PSI but my mechanical guage reads 55....
