i just got my boost and exhaust temp gauges put in and i was wondering what types of pressure it should be reading. i have the stage 4 compressor kit from HTT and the 16 cm housing.

when im just driving, the boost doesn't really go up at all, and when i floor it, it will go up to about 18 psi and thats the most it will go.

and for the egt, when the truck is idling, it reads about 200-250 degres and about 400-600 when im just driving. when im on a hill or im just giving it alot of gas, the temp will climb up to about 850-950. But even climbing up a long steep grade it never got above 1000*.

just wondering if these readings are normal. thanks

 

Sounds like you need to turn the pump up some more.

 

more steam captain

 

Im running the same hardware, but when I punch it--bam--32psi. Time for you to break out a 13mm wrench and a screwdriver son. Hey bloodhound, does your hula woman make things go faster? I use mine as a tachometer, when her hips start-a-shakin I know its time to shift

 

yeah buddy couldn't make any hp at all with out that hula woman only thing is shes a smoker. hahahaha

 

Ha, thats probably the funniest thing I'll hear/read/see all day.

 

Ya im usually around 10 to 15 with normal driving then up to around 30 when im really on it. my egts are over 1000 when getting on it usually

 

I,m running around 700 to 800 cruising with minimal boost. WOT 35 to 37 pounds and lots of heat. "We gotta slow down Captain. She canna stand the strain".

 

Mine bogs, then slams up to 35 psi where is will apparently stay until I ventilate a piston!

 

I was gonna ask that same question as I just go my boost hooked up,Im reading about 5-10 driving around and 20-25 when accelerating.About 600 on the egt cruising

 

I would say about 35 PSI (gage is pegged) with about 1000-1100 EGT.

 

that sounds about right....with my superchip i can really feel her pulling when the turbo kicks in. hoping to get injectors soon!

 

When I swapped my original turbo with a 16cm housing to the HX35 with 12wg, my boost dropped from about 26 to 22. I still can't figure that one out.

 

I'm getting 34 psi out of the stock turbo at about 1000* on long hills. 8-10psi and 750* cruising at 65.

 

At WOT I see around 36 psi and the EGT's are ..... lets just say not good, I can hold it to the boards for about 30 seconds before the 1600* pyro is pegged . Now with the valet on crusing at 65 on the highway I see 10-15 psi and 600* on the pyro. I need more air I'm trying to push to much fuel through the stock turbo.
