Should i have more boost??

I just put on the juice with attitude on my truck, and i noticed that under wot i am only making 20 psi at most, isnt the attitude supposed to add boost?
If not how can i get some more, will the attitude support having more boost, say 30psi?

Also i need to help out my fuel system, i just replaced the fuel pump with the carter campaign pump and am getting 14 at idle, but have had it drop to as low as 2psi, is there something wrong with my fuel system i would like to have it never drop below 8 and i didnt think it was supposed to, should i just add a pusher pump inline?

Any ideas on either topic would be great, Fred.

Thats what I am making, its because you have an auto with a HY turbo. If you want more boost you need to get a J-Hook.

Ok i just read up on the j-hook, any idea where the best place to get one in Alberta, Canada is? Also i was wondering, does the juice with attitude have a boost fooler or what can i do to avoid a trouble code?

Juice does boost fooling. Save yourself some bucks and rig up a turnbuckle with a couple of j bolts. No need for the fancy spring that is a pain to adjust.

are you sure the juice does fooling, my truck falls on its face hard at 2700 and then pulls hard as soon as it hits the next gear, and its making exactly 20psi wide open all the time, up hills, down hills, just read up and thought i might need one.

It does boost fooling, but it will still defuel at 2700. You can get it unlock with the "Hot" option and it will take the defuel point up to 3200. But you need to take care of the wastegate first. That will allow the turbo to spool alot higher.

the unlock code for the juice i believe is $100

it will start to hurt the tranny if you get on it alot so you should take it easy for a little while till you can upgrade

20 psi is not right. You should make more than that, stock. Either have a boost leak, or your wastgate is sticking.

I thought the wastegate opened at 19-20 psi.

20 psi sounds nuts on with a stock hy and no jhook or turnbuclke, wastegate sounds like it is operating properly. I ran a turnbuckle when i had my stock turbo on there and could make 35psi of boost with just a small timing box

His Juice has boost fooling, he just need to turnbuckle/J-Hook the turbo to keep the wastegate from opening.
