Unhappy Does this sound correct???

OK, I just installed my TST on Monday night, on the way home it kept defueling and I had no idea why. Found out that my safety features were set way way to low. Reset them tonight and now I am getting really high boost. Here is what happens; cruising about 60ish, boost around 5-10, egt about 700; hit the go petal and boost goes to 55+, egt to 1500+, and I am only going aroung 80-85 with more petal left. I have the smarty set on 8, version 4.01, TST set on level 6 on the egt screen. Not sure about other settings since I just got it, but I do know that the boost controll is turned off and the egt is set at 1650, also the other settings are all lower than 5. As far as I know the TST is turned down really low compared to what it can do, correct me if I am wrong though. Do my EGT and Boost sound correct for stock sticks, CP3, and Turbo? What do I need to adjust? Any pointers would be helpful, I am hoping to hit the rollers on Saturday but not if I can not figure out this combo prior to going. The truck is my weekend driver, I do tow with it, my HP goal is 500-550, if I want more I have a true toy for that.

travis,on the high boost problem, the newer trucks (600 series)have to have the wastegate replumbed when running the TST. Since the TST boost fools, the ECM never calls for the wastegate to open. That is why the boost is so high. You need to fix it ASAP before the turbo blows. Just run a hose from some source of boost signal over to the wastegate actuator.

Thanks Lloyd for the info, I will see what I can figure out tomorrow with this. Are you going to be at the dyno day Saturday?
