I have a 2004 Duramax with a Banks Bighead and PPE Boost valve and im only boosting 20 PSI what can I do to get more boost? I blew my turbo and had a guy put it on when he changed the turbo when I got the truck back it boosted 18 PSI then I put the PPE boost valve on and now it boost 20PSI any suggestions?

Take one or the other off having both wont do anything for you. If you take the PPE boost valve off then you can use the Banks to adjust the PSI level. Do you have a programmer?

Not a problem I have the Banks Big head and Im seeing 30+ so just do some adjusting and test drive it and see where your at if you drop psi crank it the other way and see what happens.
