Getting Edge Juice to Read Higher Than 39psi of Boost

I was riding around andgot to thinking about something that was told to me a couple months ago when I bolted up my Phat Shaft. I increased the boost screw on the wastegate to around 46-50psi as they instructed. Factory set at 40psi. 3-4psi increase with each 1/4 turn of set screw i cranked it in 1/2 turn.

I only saw and continue to see just 39psi on the Juice display. I was told this is the level set by the factory for the boost sensor to monitor and nothing more. Is there any program or higher rated sensor the dealer or I can install to get higher readings????????

Anyone else have this problem and solved it?

Yeh, thats the general consensus here!!! The factory sensor (which the Edge reads off of) is only going to read in the 40psi range. I think it has to do a bit with the BDPP boost fooling making the sensor read less than 40psi. But i was wondering if the dealer can reflash the ECM to read higher pressures without throwing a code? Especially now I'm well out of warranty?????

No...it is the limit of the factory MAP sensor. 40ish MAX. Get a mechanical to read true boost.
