I gave you as many subtle hints as possible without humiliating you and stating that it was YOU that did this. <br><br>Old boy.<br>Go ice fishing.

Re:Turnbuckle Pic
Ok, now you've got my interest. Are there real benefits to doing this? I'm going to assume holding it open will give max boost. And did I not read somewhere that more boost screws up the ecm somehow? Does this lower life expectancy on turbo, or related parts? How much power can a guy realize? Even if it's minimal, the cost would definately be right! I WANT MORE INFO!!!!! Even a website would be great. Thanks a bunch.

The search function is set to suggest the last 7 days. Maybe you've got to adjust the number of days ( lower right) to lets say 365 to get all the last year. <br>Maybe Jack could change this because most of the times I do a search it is fo really old stuff... (hint hint) <br><br>AlpineRAM

With the gate closed you produce max boost. Basically is just keeps building and you can really feel it. On your model, I think if boost got to high a code would be set. Overboosting can cause problems, head gaskets for 1 thing. Closing it all the way without a boost gauge is risky. It's just not worth screwing something up. <br><br>Mine is shut right now only because my vaccume aparatus is not working.

Re:Turnbuckle Pic
I am currently testing an adjustable boost pressure controller called The Turbo Master for an article here. It allows you to adjust the boost from 14-51 lbs. It is currently manufactured for the following vehicles.
Dodge Cummins 94-98.5
Dodge Cummins 98.5-02
Cummins special Race
GM 6.5 92-95
GMD Duramax 01-03
FPS Powerstroke 99-02
Look for my article to be posted soon Looks like a nice piece of work and made in the good ole USA.
