Need Advice on a Boost Fooler....
You can see the mods my truck has in my sig.....
First off, I keep getting an overboost code from the ECM. When I stay hard on it, it pulls hard in every gear until I get past 2300RPM's. Once I go past that, the truck just falls on its face.
I am assuming that the ECM is defueling the truck since I am running the overboost code? The truck is running more than 20psi of boost. Will a boost fooler help solve this problem of falling on its face? If so...Where can I get one?
Or what do you all recommend? Thanks guys! Paul

Best thing I did for mine was pull off the Hyperteck III and install the Quad XZT. Truck runs a lot better and you can change power on the fly. Only downside which is no big deal is the Quad doesnt have tire height adjustment or read and clear codes.

I average about 18 around town. I do tend to drive it a bit hard. It does throw the smoke and it gave me a noticeable powergain. I got the unit for a good deal from another member on the board.
But, I do plan on buying the Quad Adrenaline or Smarty down the road for even more power.....
