Maximum Stock Boost Pressure?
What is the maximum pressure the stock turbo should be pushed to?
My Edge j. with a. system recommends a max. of 36 psi. With my Edge set on level 3 and my K & N intake, I am bouncing it off the 38/39 psi mark. Just don't want to damage my turbo prematurely.
Thanks, Skinner

Boost Pressure
I've seen 32 once, however I just glanced real fast (may have been higher) It was singing at that Boost, about 3,000rpm. It took off like a Bat outa heck but wow. That's as high as I've whitnesed. All the other times I try to keep my eyes on the road.

Here in Denver, I don't see more than about 36-37 psi on mine with the Juice turned up but, I was over in Tennessee earlier this year. Coming out of Chattanooga on hwy 24 headed toward Nashville with about 16K lbs of trailer in tow, I was seeing 42 psi and staying nice and cool. I couldn't believe the power and temperature difference being at that lower elevation.

Industrial Injections Super Phat Shaft 66. I was afraid of nuking the stock turbo also. Seemed to me that anything over 38-39psi did no good, guess the air was just to hot at that boost on the stock turbo. The SPS 66 is wastegated at 50psi, I think I may have got close to opening it playing with Crazy Larry and Hot Juice on Level 3.

I have the BDDL triple pup and on the 130hp mode I can't get it over 30psi. I went to one place and town and he had a lil brass 90* fitting that went onto the turbo that would alow it to boost another 5 psi. What are you guys doing to get the higher boost? I'm gonna try the Crazy larry program when it lets me download it. I dont have a cold air intake or any exhaust mods, may that lower my boost to only 30psi?
