Low Boost On Outlook???

I installed the outlook monitor the other night and running 70 mph the boost is only showing 7-8 but my egt's are only in the 700's. What is going on ?? Surely I have more boost than that or I would have higher egt's right??? Also I have only hit 21 on the boost while getting on it pretty hard in extreme! Thanks Jason!

That is pretty low for the peak boost. If you are just cruising the 7-8 pounds is pretty normal for cruising. Where did you tap your pyro at?

That sounds pretty normal to me. That is about what mine runs pre turbo which mine runs about 750 at the same speed so mine is a bit hotter.

His egt s are fine. He was wondering why the boost reading was so low. It was on another truck and showed that low as well. I know when I had the diablo on my 03 it showed higher boost.
What kind of boost are you guys showing on your outlooks?

Dimmer? I don't see it as too bright at all. Maybe mine is an older version!?
