I was going to try an o-ring like in some of the big chargers, but I don't know if I can find one that size.

What boost numbers are you seeing?

39-40 total 20 out of the atmosphere. I'm trying a different exhaust housing now, and now I'm going to try to try dumping to the atmo charger to try to drive it harder. Since I'm 100% stock fuel:fustrate:!

i was sseing 52-54 on stock fuel, max of 25 psi out of the big one driving it on the surge line.

Damn you Mike! Your stuff is always better than mine is LOL! Well thats great to know, now I have a number to shoot for! I was hoping to hit 50 and now that I see its been done and by a reputable sorce I know I'm not being unrealistic.

Were you gated to the atmo?

Its been so long I forget now. What are you doing on the fuel side?

yes. tried both ways, but gated to the turbo allowed a bit more drive on it. gated to the overall allowed for a better bp control.

Out of curiousity do you remember what boost numbers you were seeing when you were gated to the dp?

Thanks.

Got everything figured out! Thanks to help from Dustin (dzchey21)

Ended up swapping the no limit intercooler and putting the stocker back in just to see what happened, this was after trying many different things and finding a few boost leaks.

After swapping intercoolers boost jumped up to 56psi at the manifold and at the hot side pipe. Atmo is now pushing 28psi.

This was all with spartan 310 tuning but shouldn't be any different after I reload gearheads tune. I swapped tunes initially just to rule out any tuning issues.

When I hook up the boost feed for the wastegate I lose a lot of boos pressure so I'm assuming the regulator is leaking. I have it plugged off for now though. Until I can get some more time to redial the gate in.

Power is much stronger up top now with the extra boost! Feels good to have a properly running truck!

Weird! So what was the boost at the hot side pipe at before and after the swap of the sensor? Just curious. I might disconnect my regulator and try it. I would love it if that was the issue!
