what is expected boost i should have? i have lift pump set to maybe 10-11 psi. ppe 10 level programmer set on level 5, intake and exhaust. hooked up scanner and said 37 max boost was what i hit for boost pressure. i also have a air pressure regulator inline from charge pipe to map sensor; maybn this is affecting it. just wondering if i got overboosting trouble or what regular pressures are for people running this set-up or simillar.
thanks

what scanner? its probably reading total boost where your actual boost would be 37 minus the MAP. like 37psi -12psi = 25psi

scanner is matco proscan plus. i'll check again to be sure; but i believe the pid was described as boost pressure
fyi..forgot to mention; this pid also never goes below 14psi, truck can be idling w/0 boost and still reads 14 psi? thought maybe sensor was screwed up but possibly this is normal? subtract the 14 from my total reading and is THIS real boost?

yep thats it then 14 is the MAP pressure

so if it said 37...take 14 from that...and REALLY i'm making 23 lbs...right?

yep that should be right...does it ever get above 37 or is it like its capping off there. you might be getting higher than that

that was getting pretty far into it(if not all the way) while movin at 50mph or so...just glanced at it while doing other stuff and noticed it seemed kinda high...but guess it's all normal. that's good to know.
