I'm In no way trying to bash anyone, just passing along possibilities. I know you guys know what your doing and will get it figured out. Sometimes though there is that one simple thing that you forget to think of that never hurts to have a suggestion for.

But to answer Gares question, that turbo should be doing 35-40 psi no sweat. And a pin hole in the exhaust and or intake system can drop pressure in a hurry or keep from making good pressure as well.

Good luck bud.

The truck is gettin pissed off because it is running at 35psi of drive pressure and making 27-28lbs of boost then it will drop the duty cycle of the VGT down to compensate for what it thinks is an overdrive (turbo) condition. I'm going to keep creeping up on drive pressure to see if the turbo will eventually "wake up" or if the ratio difference will just keep climbing.

what strategy are you currently tuning off of? Did you get the change to make a inferred vs non inferred comparison yet?

Set for 30% VGT duty cycle (up from 15), boost holds steady at 30-31psi. It promptly pushed a boot off but will be taken care of in the morning. Truck is running good. It's ready to go back to its home.

I'm curious to see what others with stock powermaxes are getting for VGT DC and how much boost they are seeing.
