Prob not a good idea. Check here:

great job, thanks for the pics.

 

I just did the upgrade. I didn't take anything off to get it done. Would have been better if it wasn't hot. Just got back from a test drive. It use to be sluggish off the line now it takes off like a bat out of heL$. It did look like it had a very slight leak from the cap seal before I got started. Strange part is before this the highest my boost has ever been (had for one year) was 20 now it went up to 30.

 

Rusty Axlerod,

Do you still have the little black plastic sleeve (bushing) that you show as extra part #2? Mine is cracked and I need a new one.

 

Bcfarmer,
Watch that boost 30 is getting over 28.
Maybe time to clean the turbo.

I may have it still as well if Rusty doesn't. I'll check tomorrow for you.

 

Thanks. My kit did not have one in it. Undoubtably some regulators didnt require one but mine has one in it.

 

Sorry Smokey, i can't find it.

 

I just did my blue spring and i have that black bushing pm me your address and i will get it in the mail to you.

 

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on it. After posting I went out for about an hour drive and couldn't get it back up to 30. Factory gauge was center between 20 and 30 so I figure about 25 but will be putting the code in the scanguage to monitor it.

 

That is about the only factory gauge that is accurate, I put in An autometer boost guage plumbed right into the intake elbow, it is dead nuts what the factory gauge shows. It is just hard to watch peak boost when at wot. You almost need a "bitchin betty". Lol I could have sworn my old turbo was north of 34 psi when towing my TT to the keys. But I was to busy trying to merge into traffic to monitor it.

 

I just installed my blue spring cause my bullydog was saying it was at around 4200 psi now with blue spring its idling at 8000 psi and with a rev up to 12 and 15k psi. I know that is way way over what is safe. I don't know why the fuel pressure is so high. Any tips and suggestions. Sorry I'm new here and don't want to cause myself more problems.

 

Fuel pressure is low on the 6.0 liter, what year is your truck? It should be around 45-60 psi! If it were as high as you state, it something would have given way, it would not tolerate 15k psi, something isn't right

 

04 f350 I'm driving it to the dealership now to have them check it out for me but on the way here I've seen pieeks pf 22,000 PSI

 

The ICP sensor output (injection control pressure) is a measure of the high pressure oil pressure. It goes up to 4000 psi. It has nothing to do with the blue spring or the fuel pressure feeding the injectors. There is no way to measure the fuel pressure in the injector. The fuel pressure at the injector tip can be as high as 28,000 psi because of a 7:1 intensifier piston acted upon by the high pressure oil system.
