Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost numbers? Horse power guesstimation?

[BHowayeck]

Curious to know what anyone else is seeing for boost numbers? Trying to possibly rule out a boot leak. I can hit 35 psi on my hot setting.

Can't find a dyno in my area. Could anybody guess my horsepower?

Boost is about right with those injectors. You could just pinch off the wastgate actuater line to see if its all the higher it gets or if it goes higher than that after pinching the line you can use adjustable boost elbow and set it higher. Would guess around 400-450 hp range.

My turbo is not wastegated. Still normal?

HP estimates are 1 pound of boost X 11 hp. 35 times 11 is around 385 hp.

I would say normal. The sticks you have are not that big. Not real framiliar with that turbo though but sounds right.

I'd say thats quite accurate, I'm ususlly around 36lbs. It will spike higher at low RPM and settle off above 2500RPM.
