i am guessing he is seeing that boost because his EGR is not shut off. I have heard of 56lbs with certain tuners. We have yet to see a boost related HG failure on a 6.4L

That's a lot of boost! What upgrades exactly has he done? I have only made up to 35lbs with no upgrades but a Bully Dog PMT. I would love more...but waiting to see what else the market puts out there.

matt from spartan stated that the high boost is due to the egr being left on, his tunes, that make more power are only seeing 38psi
