Got my gauges in and work after alot of agervation, now ive heard that 25lbs is as much as we want and ive heard as much as 36lbs. my truck is showingas much as 35lbs. but also i dont have my boost coming from my map sensor, we had to tap the intake manifold on the top.

Ive heard 40psi is the red zone... Id like to be in the 30-35psi range...

 

constantly going over 40 psi is when head gaskets start going pop. you should be ok with hitting 35 every once and a while, although i wouldn't recommend it

 

40 psi is for the head gaskets. some say 25 for the turbo while others say 35. My first turbo failed at 33 psi. Thrust bearing went out, using 10w30 rotella in the winter.

 

good to know...

 

so what would i need to do to my turbo to make sure it doesnt fail?

 

Don't run the boost over 30 psi very often.

 

Are you running stock injectors and turbo and getting that kind of boost? Even with a DP tuned truck, I thought stock injectors and turbo were only good for around 25ish maybe 30 with chip... I'd wondering if something is up with the gauge... .02

yeah, I've got a intake, strait pipes and a tuner and only hit 24-25 PSI..

 

I will bet its a CALI!!!
Cali + Some simple mods = Fun Fun Fun in a OBS!!!

thats nuts! i can barly touch 20 for a split second at the reve limiter. 15-18 is my normal max

 

I made 26 before the stage 1's. That was with the SC 1705. Now, I'm not sure. My guage doesn't go that high. Also, my truck was a cab and chassis, so there was no rev or speed limiter on mine.

 

are you serious joe??? i hit 25 now easy on the tow program on my edge...

 

i ran it tonight on stock and i only hit 20. last night when i 35ish i didnt even have it to the floor i dont think.

 

Wow that's nucking Futs! you got a Cali? Lot out of stock sticks! what setting on the DP you get 35 out of?
