Been out beat'n on the truck for the last hour and can get the truck up to 43-45 psi. Is that all I'm gonna get? I still pull a 30' trailer, will I be able to keep the pyro in check with that hooked up? I thought when bought this the pyro would go down but haven't seen that yet, any thoughts.

I've been reading some old threads and wondering do I have enough fuel for these turbos or should I be going back to a 62 of some kind for better all around use. These turbos have all kinds of big end but seem to lag a bit out of the hole but maybe that is normal I do not know.

you may not be able to spool them real hard on the top because of your injectors. I believe the secondary is a 57/12 and the top is a 66 or 68/12

The turbos are a b1 (s300) and a b2 (s400). How big of injectors could I go with and still a able to tow 30000lbs gross?

I really dont know. Some 150's may do better but I cant promise you. Too big and they will be really hot but if you dont spool them they will be hot too.

Is the B1 wastegated with a boost elbow installed? If so trying setting the boost elbow adjustment about 1/2 turn open and try that.

How are you reading the BOOST????
If it is through a box, that read from the factory map sensor, I have heard it won't show over 35-40. Get a new guage and read it.
You may have higher boost and it isn't recorded!!!!

I didn't know that the MAP would do that I will get a regular boost gauge in stalled and see what is going on.

My TST would read up to 60 psi.

Interesting to see you guys can read higher.

well i have a question? I dont have twins although I would like to eventually but , I do have a superchip plug in box (older one) and my boost guage will hit 30 psi if I really get on it, I am wondering if my guage is reading correctly , I have it tapped right into the top of the intake near where the heater grid is (well about 8 inches away)it seems legit but now I am wondering
