Is there anyway to change or set the boost on the predator tuner. If not what changes the boost and what brand of tuner does that.

If you already have a predator, you're better off to get a boost stick from Kennedy Diesel. It's a cable that plugs into the stock plug and the boost sensor. Mine seems to add 5 lbs of boost to stock. I thinks it's about $95
PPE also makes an adjustable boost controller and it's about $350

I'm very satisfied with the KD Boost Stick and it takes less than a minute to install.

How to install just plug in or what. Do it void warranty or cause any problems

FYI,
The Predator adds a little boost already, and my truck got worse fuel economy and had slightly higher egt's when I used teh boost stick and Predator together. I'm sure there are others who would disagree but that was my experience.

It just plugs in....kinda like an extension cord.

Mine is the opposite.........my EGT's Dropped and my mileage slightly increased.

I would start with an EGR blocker plate. With out it you cant build over 25 psi efficiently. The Predator brings boost on more quickly down low and may add a little peak boost, but more than likely Dioblo Sport has boost set to give the best performance and economy allready.
