Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost Number Question

[klaybus]

OK, don't know if I've got a problem (Boost Leak) or not. I'm running an EZ with the boost elbow & the max bost I'm seeing is about 26-27 lbs under WOT pulling our 5vr going up a grade... . I can get my EGT's to 1150 before I back out of it.

What do you guys think? Are others running the same setup seeing the same boost numbers?



TIA,

Clay

That's as far as mine goes. With the ez and the boost elbow that came with it the most I can get is 28lbs. I may be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly stock boost is 18psi and the ez adds an additional 10psi so 28psi should be right on. If I'm wrong someone will correct me, but I think all is well.

I pushed 20psi at idle, stock with my 2000. If your boost elbow has an allen head set screw in it, tighten it down a little bit and get a little more boost out of it. I heard guys with stock trucks and just an Edge EZ were seeing 33-34psi at WOT???

Clay, your numbers are right in the ball park.
