i got the carter pump i think. at idle i see 14-16 psi and at wot 9-10 psi so i dont think that should be a problem.
Im about ready to shoot somebody
i cant take the incompatence any more!!!! i just went to install my studs and there only 15 in the box!!! wat @#$%%$&^ moron sends a guy only 15 studs???????? i need 26 dont I??? every place is closed today so i cant even call them and tell them how upset i am !!!!!!!!
how do any of these companys even stay in buisness with service like this????? now all i need is my transmision to explode!!!!

Hmm hey J are you sure that this turbo becomes inefficiant after 45psi? I was talking to the guy over at Htt and mentioned that my turbo would hit 50psi with ease with the pump turned up and I can tell you I did back it down a bit to 45 because of the heat down low and it feels like I lost power for sure..

well i put it on with the pipe dope and it looks like it might have a slow leak. but not much at all. i have tomarow off and nothing else to do except put in head studs and watch the packer game so i could not just leave it sit there in the box.
so far i just warmed it up and took it easy not more than 10 psi / 900 degs. now im letting it cool off for 30-45 minutes and then im gona go put the hammer down!
so far im very impressed. its just to bad they dont know how to tap a hole

At 45psi the drive pressure is closer to 1:1 ratio. I adjusted my wastegate & noticed that it spooled better & heat went down at wot, but the power still feels like it is there. I'm sure that if I tested it on a dyno that I lost a few hp, but now I have less heat & more usable power because I don't have to watch the pyro...just bottom out the go pedal & hang on. I would like to hook up a gauge to test my drive pressures with both settings though to be sure, but it does feel better. Did you notice a faster spoolup after the adjustment?
The map for the S362 stops at a PR of 3.8.
I'd say to keep the turbo under 40psi, but that's just me.. Obviously, real world results trump compressor maps and theories and "paper" stuff.
