I have an '05 Cummins and still running the stock turbo. Now what is the wastegate set to open at?? I'm used to my '01 24v opening at 20 psi stock without the turnbuckle on it....but haven't really read up on these newer ones yet so I have NO clue.

The reason I ask, I'm running an Edge Juice w/ attitude and the highest boost number I've seen is 28 psi and I'm still smokin like a freight train on level 3. I would think that I should be seeing higher numbers, but like I said I don't know squat about these turbo's. Keep in mind I live right outside of Denver, CO so I'm sure the altitude hurts me a bit ( around 5,000 feet ).

I read somewhere that I should send my chip in and get it upgraded to the latest software version....seeing how I have version 1.1. But would that affect my boost numbers, or just get rid of the earlier flaws like the surging?

So if y'all could school me on this I'd be MUCHO happy!:rockwoot:
