We finally got a 40-94 on my truck and have been dealing with some tuneing issues related to deleting the turbo and what not. Finally got all that sorted out and for somereason i cant get much over 30lbs of boost at wot. I know it should be making well into the low 40s. from the our logs where getting more then enough fuel. where at about a 3300 pulse width and 30 degrees of timeing. Im starting to think ether bad turbo :mad: or a boost leak somwhere:( any one have any ideas or sugjestions. Thanks in advance for the help :D

well thts i guesss next step visually i checked every thing and it all looks good. but i guess under upwards of 30 psi something mabey is acting as a sort of blow of valve or something. egr is blocked im thinking mabey intercooler line would be the only spot i could think of ?

Mine will only make 35 in high gear, 32 in all others, always has since new, even with the ppe tuner on it. No boost leaks, tested @ 75 psi?
