I know there are alot of people who have modded their trucks and are getting some serious boost but what is safe. Is there a maximum setpoint set at the factory?
I have an Edge A2 that I mostly run on stock or 1. I bought it mostly to watch what the motor is doing. Most of the time I don't even look at the dash just at the A2 for EGT and engine stats.
The max boost you want to run on a 6.0 is 38 psi, without doing anything else to your heads, gaskets, studs. Like f-350 turbo said though, the studs and gaskets have been changed a number of times, so not to say that you can't damage anything but, that's what I have been told by powerstroke builders is the number. I would set your Edge to backdown at like 30-33 psi, just to be safe.
