If you're going to run bigger injectors you might as well get something that does boost fooling and get a j-hook for your turbo. I don't think overboost codes will cause a CEL.

Its a hook that latches onto the waste gate to keep it closed longer instead of opening at the stock 20-21 lbs mark.
there are a few brankd out there here is one.. http://www.xtremediesel.com/bullydogj-hook182555.aspx
Or you could always put a turn buckle on it. It'll do the same thing. Just be careful you dont tighten it too tight at first. Dont go over 30 lbs with our hy-35 turbo just to stay safe.
Tighten a little, run around the block and test, tighten test etc etc.

Superchips does not do boost fooling but here is my story. I had a 3715??? SC, a BD boost fooler and J hook. Everything worked great, no codes and 26psi of boost. My fooler went out and started throwing codes so I took it off(fooler). I reset my codes with my SC and it never threw an overboost even though I was hitting 26psi so no, you don't need a fooler....at least I didn't.

Yes, you need some kind of boost fooler to exceed 20 or so psi.
Either built into a box or standalone, the factory ECM is trying to defuel right now.
You might look into an EZ or small Quad box if you don't want a bunch of power, but you will get the boost fooling and a small kick in mileage from the added timing.

I agree, Edge EZ or small quad. Gotta say I love my J/A though. The EZ just gave me the power bug and only held me over for a year brfore I had to have more haha.
