I just instaled gauges, and my boost is running about 0 at idle and have had it up to about 10 to 15 psi at about 60 mph, is this a bad gauge? oh yea and I have it routed to the ATS arc , everything else seems to be fine.

 

Sounds normal. What is the boost under hard accel and have you tried it towing or running up a steep grade??

 

I havent towed or got on it hard ,but I will try that next. what kind of pressure should I see towing or a steep grade?

 

Towing and steep grads I can see a regular 25 to 30 and it will reach the defuel point I have set at 36 easy if I step on it while towing.

 

Get on the go pedal on a freeway on ramp....boost is at it's highest during acceleration...not at steady throttle / cruise....stock is around 30-32psi

 

so stock is 30psi? i am only getting about 25psi out of my 03 HO......should I be worried?

 

04.5+ is 30-32psi.....earlyer trucks were around 25 i believe....think you're ok.

 

cool......just wanted to make sure. the truck runs fine!

 

Mine seems to top out at 32-34psi. Only when I am going up hills or hauling. Cruising it stays around 15. Sounds normal. Mine is also hooked into the ats arc.

 

I am not seeing anywhere close to 30 or 34psi , but I have found no leaks,and the gauge was tested ,it works, would this be something to try a boost fooler on? Will the bully triple dog give the electic wastegate problems?

 

So if i bought a Boost Fooler, then i would get hight boost?? Is the ECM Limiting the boost? Maybe?? No?

 

Notstrokin,
For a while I was having an issue with low boost. What I found out is that I had to re-adjust the front bands on the trans. That brough everything back to snuff. In fact it made it feel like I put a VB in.

As for boost, I guess I'm seeing allot less than everyone else. I can't seem to find a leak, but I thinking that becuase I have a TAG my boost levels are lower. With the Quad Std by-passed, cruzin' at 60mph I'll read between 0-3psi, a long grade at 70mph I'll get to 17-20psi, full accelleration she'll peg 36psi & settle around 32psi. I think everythings fine because I can max it out to where it should be.

What do you guys think?

 

I thank you all for your input, any of it does help,for I am fairly new to these rigs but man they sure are cool and they are addicting LOL. All of my buddys drive powerstrokes,and none know anything compared to what I learn here.
