Honestly, is 1400* really that hot? Mine will peg my 1600* guage in about a second. As long as you don't hold it there for 30+ seconds, you won't melt anything.

Take the red wastegate line off and tighten that rod so the gate only opens about 1/4 of the way.. In all honesty tighten it so It doesn't open at all. With 250/100s I ran it at 1/4 and it would do 37 psi and way lower egt's then before I shut it to 1/4. With about 49-50 psi back pressure. With stock injectors you will be fine.

I dnt think I have ever seen mine break 1250* with the stock turbo or the 38r
So I pulled the red line off the wastegate actuator and tightened it down a bit. Now the boost will hit 24 but I've just got an edge cts insight and it's reading boost off the map sensor I think but once it hits 24 psi it goes back to 0. It wont go any higher than that.. And after about 10 minutes the "service engine soon" light came on.

Need a boost Fooler the map only goes to 24psi then defuels Or is it 27? Need A boost Fooler so even at 100 psi the map only sees 24-27 whatever it is so it doesn't defuel and set the cel on the dash.
That's exactly what I needed to know! Thank you very much.
I'm headed out to install the new srp 1.1 that just showed up on the door step!

Remember that the Insight is getting its boost reference from your MAP sensor, so when you install your overboost kit, you'll no longer get an accurate boost reading. Be best if you install the EAS accessory 0-100 pressure sensor in your charge air system to get accurate boost info.

just t into that rubber line with the EAS sensor between the intake spyder and map sensor once you get the boost fooler kit, the regulator in the kit will not let more than 24 psi iirc to the map sensor which is tripping the SES light and defueling the truck.. good luck with the pump install

I would bury my EGT super quick in all of my old tunes. With Gearheads, I can stand on it WOT and never break 1250 in any tune but my hot tune. In the hot tune, it'll hit 1400-1600 but nowhere near as fast. I look forward to comparing the RWHP in my chips this weekend at PHP's benefit dyno day.
I'd be looking for boost leaks. They can be damned hard to detect.

Or just get tunes that have the overboost SES crap turned off
Exactly Frank! Those boostfoolers are outdated. That defuel.safeguard is easily tuned out.

my dp tunes had the defuel tuned out and my truck still kicked the SES light:shrug:

It either wasn't tuned out or you were getting an icp code..

My truck still sets the light but does not defuel. It is a overboost code. Kinda like the light, it lets me know when I hit 25 lbs.

Why do I get the feeling there is someone standing over this comment with a modhammer waiting for a reply...
