Question Edge/att and Dr.P stack boost pressures.

I just had the Edge with attitude installed this afternoon. Iam also runing a Dr.P pressure box with it. Now at idle iam seeing 14-15psi for boost and when i start to drive in level 2 i can easyly hit like 46psi and my alert goes off.Now i immeadeatly called back where they installed it and they told me to raise the the turbo alert to 50psi. Well it will hit 50psi again in 4th gear@2300rpm. So they tell me to not to get into it as hard but iam driving it as i did before i brought it in. So iam curios as to knowing if these boost pressures could be out of whack? and if anyone knows how i can rectify this? Thanks. Also should i be worried about these kind of pressures?

Something is wrong, i had the edge juice/att with the the hot unlock and the stage 3 dr. performance box and could only hit 42-44lbs. that was on a mech. guage... The attitude tends to lie a little....
It is getting all of its readings from the ecm...Also from what I have been told is that the ecm will not read past 40lbs of boost...

unless you can here your turbo screaming at idle...then you have no boost at idle.....which means your map sensor is probably shot....replace it and all should be good

Is the Juice plugged into the MAP with the Dr. P plugged into the Juice, or vice versa?

Edge says the Juice should be plugged directly into the MAP with the pressure box (like EZ, etc.) plugged into the juice.
I think the pressure box is fooling the Juice/Attitude that the boost pressure is that high, when the only thing you want it to fool is the ECM.

well it has nothing too do with who hooked it up too your truck....more too do with the electronics of your truck....my rail pressure sensor failed a week ago....i am not trying too blame it anyone....just the fact that electrical equipment will go funny!!!

ya theres no way you should see any boost at idle,she needs to be under load to get some boost,if your seeing 50 psi theres somthing wrong somwhere,im guessing sensor too
