You need something like an Edge Comp or EZ. Those have a built in boost fooler. I don't know if your superchips has one or not. Anyways, you need to see what kind of wastegate your's has on it. If it's a rubber line, then you need a boost elbow to up the boost past stock. If it's a hard line (you'll know instantly which one it is) then your gonna need a turnbuckle to clamp the wastegate shut.

Why do you want more boost??

Unless you have high EGTs, raising boost for its own sake accomplishes nothing good.

You always want to the minimum boost necessary to keep EGTs under control.

More is not always better.

Raising boost alone will NOT increase power, unlike a gas engine. Power in a diesel is a function of FUELING.

You can give a STOCK truck 40psi of boost, and it will make LESS power than it did stock.
