Mine has seen spikes of 18 lbs on the 93 octane performance (no tow) tune...

I've seen spikes of 20 psi with my 5star 88 perf/tow tune. It will hold 18 psi for several seconds. I monitor mine with a Bully Dog watchdog monitor. You can really hear the BOVs working when boost goes over 16 psi.

I seem to see more boost at a roll on of the throttle vs just stabbing the throttle. I'm monitoring boost through the boost gauge shown below... I've never seen 20 lbs.

I'd be interested on where you found the FX gauge. I have the LED Roush gauge. The FX would have been icing on the cake! Does yours go completely black when the truck is off??

PS...whats the OFF/ON switch where the 4x4 switch normally is? Is this an FX2 feature???
