What are the temps? What are your boost numbers at these temps?
Might want to check for boost leaks, check the wastegate is still hooked up.
Did you install the boost elbow? If not you might want to do that, it will raise your boost numbers.
good luck

I don't have mine tapped yet, but EGTs seem really good on level 1x5. Seems like it takes a lot to get to 1050. I have 4" and an AFE air intake.

From what I've read, keep it around 1150-1250 sustained(towing) or for short bursts, it really doesn't matter.

I don't know if I'm high or low, but cruising down the freeway at about 70 on flat ground I tend to run in the mid-700's and with any slight grade it'll go right up to 850. I don't really ever get past 1000 without trailering something though. Bryce

Hey Brice that sounds about right. My numbers are about the same.
they say don't keep it above 1200 for any amount of time.
Glenn is your probe preturbo? Did you install the boost elbow? It will help keep your boost up and temps down.

Hmm, I've got a dinky HY35 and I run about 625* on the highway empty with the Juice on basically any level.

It takes a full throttle run to hit 1300* at about an 1/8 mile.

I have 5" exhaust and a stock intake and filter. No J-hook either.

1250* is the max you can hold sustained. Anything over that you can only do in short bursts (1/4 mile, 10-15sec, yall get the drift). With the boost elbow you should be hitting 30-35psi.
