Omaharam: I believe that the "max boost" and "max EGT" safety features of the Juice w/ Attitude only defuel when the readings reach your max set-point. The only box I know that directly controls the wastegate is the SP Diesel Eliminator (it has a plug FOR that wastegate) but after trying one out for two agonizing weeks I wouldn't touch that company again with a 10,000 foot pole.

Hows this for weird...
I've got the BDDL w/ CL stacked with a TST -
TST is supposed to limit boost - my R37 Remote has either boost limiter ON or boost limiter OFF -
Now when the TST is OFF the truck (As in for warranty service) and the CL Tune is In.. My Boost Runs right around 30.. Kinda fluctuates back and forth between 33 and 28...
When I put the TST on (Set on 0/0 and boost limiter function set to 1 (Or ON) I immediately see boost jump to around 40 PSI (TST Says it should be limited to 35)
Turn the Boost Limiter to 0 or off and the boost will go on up to like 45-46... Mind you this is all with the TST still on 0/0 -
I haven't had the testicular fortitude to look at the boost gauge while making a 2/1 with boost limiter on 0 and CL run... Just too darned scared.
Obviously this is no good for my stock turbo...
Any enlightenment as to why just putting the TST on is allowing my wastegate to do funny stuff would be great..
Otherwise.. I'm just gonna keep drivin' it!!
