With a good EZ, I think you would generate more boost than stock, at heavy throttle....but you need to install the elbow to get it.
Sorry if I'm restating the obvious. Your above statement sounds like there may be some misunderstanding on where the added boost comes from!
Good Luck

Sorry RJ, I worded that wrong...........it does allow for more boost but not if the wastegate restricts it.........that sounds better!!! Which is where the boost elbow comes in ( unless you have a hardline piece of crap like mine

I know that you get the moore boost from the box and that the boost fooler is only used to control the waste gate from opening. My question was is that fact that I don't have a boost fooler could that be causing the over boost codes?

And you do have a boost fooler, it's built into the EZ box already..........it just sounds like it's not working properly!!! Therefore causing the codes

And yes, defective Boost fooler would allow codes to show up.

Yeah, the boost fooler in the box could be not functioning correctly and causing your codes to pop up...........you can send it back to EDGE and they can take a peek for you to see if that's the problem

I actually bought it from another person. So I am not sure what it going to happen. Maybe I will have to get something bigger now because mine busted That would be a bloody shame 
That would be a bloody shame

That would be a bloody shame I swear my single turbo broke, so I'm gonna get twins now just to be safe.........that way if one fails I have a backup!!! 
I know the Edge w/ the juice monitor is supposed to be out around Christmas, that is if you want to pay almost 9 bills for it

Na, I am alright. I already have the gauges so there is 300 saved. I am not sure what I would do, but it would be a good excuse Maybe I will just get another fueling box if I can't get it fixed, and sneak a set of sticks in at the same time My wife won't notice the difference, until I hit the throttle then 
and 
and and finally

She will know when she looks at the check book. She will be ****** at me because she said no more mods until she gets another vechile. I don't know if I can drive my truck without a chip anymore. It is just so nice to have that boost and power.
