those who have a boost bypass

Did your boost gauge only go to about 9 on the stock gauge after install.

I have it. I dont think it raises your boost. Just bypasses dumping the boost .

Blowntruck is right- it doesn't raise your boost.

You should see 8-9 lbs during the day. . .slightly more at night.

why would anyone "buy" the boost bypass kit, when all you have to do is unplug the wire?

Unplugging only throws a code ....

In some instances we still want to take the trucks in fro service

when you plug it back in, doesnt that fix the "thrown code"

or is that something that stays in the computer of the truck?

Yes I noticed the same thing.
I think the diaphragm in the boost valve expands somewhat, which causes the boost gauge to see less boost for a while. After a few seconds mine sees 10LBs boost.
