Default Finished Comp and gauge install.

Well I'm done.
So far I'm really impressed .
The truck feels like it's got a brand new motor.
Here's my reading from the gauges.
EGT 610 at 60
Fuel PSI 7 at 60----this number sounds low from what Jake told me.
Boost 28 pounds when I'm hammering it.

Fuel is a little lower than I'd like to see, just keep an eye on it, when it hits about 5 psi, Id change that lift pump. EGT's are lookin real close to mine, your boost seems low. I can hit 35psi when I hammer down, did yours come with the wastegate plug?

I think I can hit the 35 on the boost .
I just didn't want to do any damage right off.
Maybe I'll put the skinny pedal down tomorrow and see what I can get.
I know, I know, I'm a puss for not giving it everything the first time out.
As for the fuel pressure I might look into the Fass .
If I can I'll wait a little while, cause my money is getting a littletight.
Anything else I should be watchin for?

Boost at 35 ??

I don't think I've ever seen mine much past 20. Do you think I have a problem somewhere??
