Yes it will but usually closer to 35psi .

In a stock tune, yes it will defuel at around 24psi.

In an aftermarket tune it may not. Depends on the tuner. We eliminate the defueling from overboost.

What would the signs of defueling be?
Like will you feel it?
And will a obs set a over boost code?

Back in the day, some swore their trucks defueled and others said no way. I think it depends on the year and PCM code of the truck.

OBS California trucks get a turbo overboost code P-0238 and that cuts out the engine at 24psi at the MAP. Boost fooler or pressure regulator cures that. Had to set the regulator to 19psi static pressure to compensate for the dynamic pressure wave rise at full throttle to keep the CEL from coming on. this varies by the particular regulator you use.

Huh, when did you start doing that? Cause my DP Tuner sure defuels around 30 PSI or so very violently. Had to put a regulator on it .

Jody has been doing it since at least the time I started (December 2012). When was the last time you had your tunes updated?

With our tunes, de-fueling from overboost is eliminated. However, without the use of an overboost annihilator you may still get the P0238 or P1249 codes. Each truck (PCM cal) seems to be different there.

Likely before 2010, can't remember.

I still remember discovering the overboost issue......

This is the wife's truck and when we first got it in 2003 she was unimpressed. Her hot rod 91 IDI would outrun it. So I put the usual stuff including a brand new set of AC injectors and DP tuner. Her comment was "so a set of injectors cost more than and engine rebuild on the 91? Why is a Powerstroke better? "
Just happened I got the DP tuner installed the day before the Diesel Power Show at the Tulare Ag Center. So there were a lot of hot rod diesel guys on their way there. So sure enough we were blowing by a 6.0 with stacks when we discovered the boost defuel. Thought it blew up of course since it shut down and relit about 4 times before she could get her foot out of it. so the next weekend a boost regulator went on and the fun resumed.

Defueling may have Nothing to do with the tuner ******** that parameter or not. OBS's (which have a frequency based MAP) typically can only throw an overboost code. The SD's on the other hand have a voltage based MAP, can all defuel. On OBS's in particular, the MAP sensor dosnt like getting crammed with boost, and starts sending erratic signal to the PCM, which causes the bucking. It is defueling, but not on purpose, it's a symptom of the MAP loosing connection with PCM for a second. The variety in this comes with the random condition of your frequency based MAP sensor, and whether it is feeling up to the task of keeping the signal or not, some seem to be more tolerant than others.

Install a boost fooler before the map to insure you dont find out how enduring MAP sensor is. Mine was not very.. ask me how i know...

Oh okay. Yes, if the tunes are that old you may not have the defuel disabled. You can send the chip in for a reburn to get the latest tunes if you would like.

Yes, the defuel is very noticable, especially at WOT on a track. Can only imagine what went through her head when it happened :wtf: LOL

BC Canada Eh!
the map only reads to 35psi. if it goes over 35psi it sends a -30psi reading to the computer.
yes this makes it buck pretty hard.

Norgren part number R07-100-RNEA looks to be perfect and has a locking knob

R07
'-100' is 1/8 ports '-200' is 1/4
'-R'
'N' is no gauge option, substitue a G if you want the little gauge port
'E' outlet pressure range 5-50psi
'A' female pipe thread

direct from their webstore in the US were $24 when I looked but they are on ebay too I found one that is 'used' for $13 plus $10 for the ride to Canada
(most places want $40 for shipping to Canada)

FWIW, I have over 37 psi boost with PHP tunes and NO defueling. By the density of the black cloud in the side mirror; there is no doubt it's fueling.

Depends on PCM code. As i found out some PCMs have a speed limiter of 116mph and some don't. All OBS trucks should have some sort of boost fooler on there. Diesel sites little one has worked on mine for years without an issue. Just have to oil it when the code pops up some times.

the MAP only reads to about 35psi boost. I have personally tested it with regulated shop air and using torqueapp.
the PCM will 'see' a -30 psi value when the MAP maxes out and the PCM takes a bit to recover from the overboost.

like most have said, get a regulator to prevent the sensor from maxing out, they are something like $30 direct from the manufacturer Norgren
