    The Powerbox is reading 49 lbs of boost because it's reading that from your manifold pressure guage. That reading that's going through the powerbox to your ECM. Unless your manifold pressure gauge is bad that's how much boost your getting. You don't need a mechanical guage if you have the Powerbox.
    If your on power level 7 and are making 49 lbs your running over 700 hp

    Nope sorry guys your misunderstanding. I crossed the wires on the boost sensor to get more fuel. I need to put a mechanical gauge on it to get proper readings

    that's a no no
    The Powerbox is not designed to work with any modifications to your manifold pressure sensor. It already modifies the signal it's given to improve response. Now your stacking that code to the ECM. That explains your smoke. I'd be real nervous driving like that having no idea what my boost is

    If you wanted that kind of power you should have bought a compbox instead of a powerbox. That will take your cats 475 injector pulse to 775 hp

    Your engine can only take so much cylinder pressure
