more psi with j-hook
right now i get 26 psi @ max with my j-hook. should i tighten it up, its a little smokey with my injectors. could i get 30 psi with my j-hook and other mods?

Yeah, tighten it up a little more. I'm seein over 40psi with my Adrenaline, I need to back mine off a little. Even with my B/Dog Torque Dog module (65hp) I was seein 32psi.

good point i didnt think about a boost leak, i thought 26 psi is all it will produce. i need to check around where i put my boost pressure gauge, intercooler boots, i have seen some of them look like they might be pushed off. ill look tomorrow and give details.

i know different turbo but they seem to function pritty close, i got an adjustable boost elbow and closed it all the way, still with my XZT+ im only seeing 21psi, are you running injectors too to see those boost levels or should i be looking for a leak too?

You should be seeing higher boost numbers than that with the XZT+ and boost elbow. stock I was seeing 23 psi and with the XZT+ and boost elbow on mine I have no problem getting 30+ psi of boost

Yes sir. If you are on the throttle and you havent shifted yet youre boost should still increase unless you are WOT and youre boost is already maxed. Youre boost should not decrease till you let off or the trans shifts.

I havent experienced a boost leak myself but from what other guys have explained about boost leaks what you are describing it sure sounds like a boost leak. Especially since youre boost builds builds then starts to drop again without you shifting or letting off the throttle.
