We offer a Boost Controller for the lbz's here... http://www.pacificp.com/index.php?m..._id=15&zenid=d5c04ff8c5c177de39adbb4fe95f5e91 It is adjustable on the fly. Let me know if you have any questions...

We've done pretty well with the Boost Stick for the 04-05 LLY, and feel it really does serve a specific purpose. To fix tunes. The problem is that there are so many combinations out there and it doesn't work for all of them. At this point we don't plan to release one for the LBZ, but you never know. It's a lot of work to support these things.
One thing I've been preaching all along though is that boost can be done in any tuner and can be done so much better/smarter than with a fooler. Only Diablo ever made an effort to add boost to their LLY tuner. For the LBZ all off the shelf tuners (including Diablo) seem to have ignored the tuning of the turbo once again. I guess they were just in a hurry to get product on the market.
EGR, boost, etc can be taken care of by smart tuning. When I write a tune the only "crutch" it really needs is a good lift supply.

John,
Our newer style tuners have boost tables adjusted in them for all LLY's/LBZ's. However we only offer it on certain levels of tune. So if a customer wants to control boost he can with boost controller and the correct level.

Even if they were in a hurry what is the point of a big fuel tune if you can't use it due to high egt's. I purchased an edge evo for the monitoring capabilites and to be able to read and clear codes but it definately needs more boost on level 3. I know it will take programmers time to adjust tunes for the new engine and computer setup so I am going to sit back and watch for now.
Does the PPE boost controller have any safety features built in or is it up to the driver to monitor for overboost?
Dan, I have another issue I will pm you on.
John,
Does that mean the one for the LLY will work? I guess it just may not have the proper boost map in it for each specific application? I have a Predator that I run on either the 65, 85 or 120 setting. Do you think it would be worth a shot?
