Mach 4's.
Anyone running Mach 4's with a stock turbo and no fueling box?
What kind of boost are you seeing and what are your EGTs like when empty WOT?
Just curious,

I know that HOHN was running them like that. Let me see if I can find an old post where he talked about it.

Looks like me and Hohn are it.
I'll post my findings for those interested in getting some bigger sticks.
I have some 4.5 in the truck. At WOT I'm seeing about 38-39 lbs of boost (stock turbo HX35/12) and about 850-875 degrees post turbo temp, I'm going to move the pyro pre-turbo soon. Cruising down the hwy. I'm at 550 deg. at 65 mph. From my understanding post turbo temps messure roughly 300 deg less than pre. with little boost, I personally think it's about the same just cruising down the highway maybe only 100 degrees different, but as the boost comes up the difference in temps grows.
From a stand still with zero boost matted, smoke is a problem... After say 20 lbs of boost it pretty clear behind me.
I guess it will get interesting once I decide to add a fueling box.
I'll be keeping a close eye on the turbo threads.

Justin, Have you had a chance to dyno yet? I'm going to try to dyno this weekend.

No dyno. All it would do is show how badly outclassed my stock clutch is. Besides, my turbo's done ~ 32psi, and it will go up to 38psi.
I need a clutch before I can dyno. It holds just fine in daily driving (for today, anyway) but that could change tomorrow (I think it's starting to already)

Over the weekend I got a chance to put the truck on the rollers.
My previous dyno numbers were 244/582, that was with MAD/Catcher ecm and RV275's injectors.
This weekend the only thing that changed was adding Don's Mach 4s. The numbers were 360/840. So I gained roughly 115 HP and 260 Trq.
With a nice turbo I'll crack 400 hp w/out a fueling box.

With a bigger turbine size and more lag, you could probably get near 420.
I'd rather have a quick-spooling 410, though.
