boost guage? 21mpg

[JMachemer]

I am having issues with my boost guage. I am taking it back to the place i bought it to have them check it out - check guage lines and put in new unit to see about accuracy. Turbo seems good - no excess play or oiled up, removed and checked all intercooler lines and boots - sprayed all clamps and junction areas down with brakeclean to see if idle would surge and it stayed same. Anyone ever have a boost gauge go bad over time?

I also have over 300 miles on the new Goerends goodies Oo. . What a difference. The wife and i took a trip to Cresson PA to see some friends. 75 mph on the turnpike, and the hill from Altoona to Cresson is good climb. We took rt 30 home from Breezwood - hills and curves. Anywho i have an average of 21 mpg. Truck is running great. EGTs are right around 600 on flat and never over 900- pourin' the chilli to her up hills that is.



diesel truck pulls this weekend at Washington County Ag center near Hagersown - may 21 at 5PM.

oh yea, the boost reading does not go above 12 lbs. I forgot to mention that. Sorry

problem solved. It was a faulty guage. I took it back to Liberator Performance and they agreed, popped the old out, put a new guage in, and up the street i went. Covered under warranty. It sure is nice to know it was nothing major wrong with my truck.



Washington County AG Center near Hagerstown MD this Sunday the 21st of May at 5PM. Diesel pickups and Semi truck pulls. $10 bucks i think. I'll be a spectator for this one.

What's the boost showin' now with the new gauge?



More'n 12 friggin' psi, I hope. Some of these guys hit 12 psi leaving the garage on the way to work!

it can hold 23 and peak at 25. I am thinking about getting some injectors in the near future. 60-75hp. Anyone think one brand is better than another? What about the RV275 injectors? Any comments on these? I do not want to go to wild with the truck. Injectors and an hx40 is my limit i think
