    When my bxs was a 475 1850 I got 45-47 psi. Now that its a 550 with the heavy haul it will go to 60.

    when my MXS lost power and was a laggy pig it ended up being 2 junk turbos due to an exhaust sleeve. If it ends up being the same problem you can have yours rebuilt rather than buying new ones.

    It could also be a cracked bellow but with the amount of boost your losing I would think you could hear that, I know I could.

    On a side note with the turbine wheels both chewed up and the PDI Stage 1 tune.....it ran like it did stock without the tune. So I can only imagine what a pig it is with a stock ECM with low boost.

    I wish those bellows were made out of a little heavier gauge metal. I got one that has a little crack in it. Atleast its the easiest one to replace.

    MXS 475 I drive will make about 42 pulling a grade in 7th direct. So I would say CAC leaking maybe the tubes for it or something in the fuel system.
