Boost issues.

I have an 05 with an Edge Juice and a DR. Performance Predator. Just put the Goerend trans in last night. I also though in a quadzilla boost fooler because my boost was maxing out at 32. I have Relentless Arctic Air twins as well. The Predator as well as the boost fooler are plugged into the MAP sensor. Now I am only showing 22lbs of boost at WOT...What gives? I need help

Thanks

Josh

Well lets see you have three devices that should be doing boost fooling. So that could be part of the problem. Doesn't the Juice plug into the MAP sensor also??

Get a manual boost gauge if you don't have one. That way you will know your real boost numbers.

Yes. And As far as I know, neither the EDGE nor the Dr. Performance do boost fooling. I have never seen past 32lbs, which as I'm sure you know, is the regulated limit.

Dr P does boost fool, but your standard box does not "fool" very high, you can send it in to fool higher.

Alright,

What are you reading your boost off of? If you are reading from the Attitude then you are only reading what the Map sensor will see. Make sure you have your electronic gauge plugged in first and everything else after that. The Edge does do boost fooling. Take the Quad Boost fooler off and you will be fine. If you can turn the boost fooling off so you only have one device do fooling that will help you out as well.

The boost gauges in our trucks can only read to the upper 30s maybe some to the very low 40s. Get yourself a manual boost gauge to see what is really going on. If you are running twins, you might even consider a couple of boost gauges to keep an eye on both turbos.

I would almost garaunty that you are making more boost that that. List your mods so we can see what we are trying to help you with.

what year. . .BELIEVE later models do. If you are reading boost from the juice monitor and it is plug in after the others you are not getting true readings it has been FOOLED.

Anything above 40psi youare just huffing hot air. The stock turbo is not meant to move air at that pressure. Your egt's probably flew through the roof as well.

You are probably making more than that as well. What PSI are your twins most efficient at?

Not sure. Just started messing with the truck again. Haven't had a lot of time to mess with it. Wastegate is set at 50 psi.

You really do need a manual boost gauge with the twins, at least one. Like stated the Juice reads ECM boost which comes from MAP. The EMC will only report around 40psi max. If you still have the Quad boost fooler on, I would take it off. The Juice will do boost fooling past what the ECM will display.

Boost gauges are cheap and simple install.

If I have an overboost fault, will it allow the turbo to boost past the stock limit when fooled?
