My truck, with intake, downpipe, and 4" exhaust would hit 18psi. Then I added a Diablo Delta chip, and my boost could reach 23psi. Now that I've got propane, I can get slightly above 30psi.

Dang Quadzilla, I bet that turbo sings at that PSI.

Ever worry about it coming apart from spinning to fast?

I'm generally pretty busy watching the road, and dodging imports, but the turbo seems to be holding up fine.

Cool

How much boost should a nearly stock 1996 PSD have. The only mods it has is that it is straightpiped, but stock exhaust.

Can you run propane and the SCMT at the same time.
