I could tell the difference when I ran your setup, are you sure the boost controller is properly plugged in? When I flipped the race switch, I noticed boost came up immediately, and just cruising 70 mph down the highway, I could turn the boost controller knob and see the boost increase or decrease with no throttle movement.

You should have a switch to turn it on and off. I had the same problem and what somebody told me to do was to go on the highway and set the cruise to 60 - 70 MPH. Hit the switch and watch your boost gauge. At about 1/4 turn on the dial you should see a difference. Boost of 30 - 32 PSI is perfect for the stock LLY turbo.

if you are using the edge as your boost gauge it will not read the extra boost it will show a lower boost level then when it was stock...

Dan does ppe or predator raise the boost for in their tunes? or do they make it so you need to install more stuff, i am in it for mileage and towing not racing so the more i spend the less it makes sense or less it makes my money back ya know? I know more boost is better for egt's as willa egr blocker plate, but what works? I have cat back exhaust with no guages and i need a tuner but which one will give me the best return for my money predator or PPE?

Dan - Can you take a look at my setup in my signature and let me know if your boost controller would enhance my setup?
