Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Boost Q

[Red_Rattler]

How much boost does the truck come with from the factory stock? The only reason i ask is because i got some gauges installed down at schides last weekend... go time BTW... anyways All I get is 15-18psi which isn't bad, but isn't that good lol But i thought i would have more then that, but all i have is a BD Plug N Power, which is just fuel i know, and 4 inch straight pipe... mild by some standards but i thought i would get more then that. I just wanna know if that close to what i would be getting or do i have to go check my hose clamps? Thanks for any info...

18 is right on the money for your rig.

18 to 20 is about right for stock. I get 25 to 28 with my BD box and about 40 with My Blue box on 50%.



I thing your readings a bit low. Check for leaks or intake restriction.



Hope this helps.

Does that BD box you have connect to the map sensor at all with a boost module? If it does... ... . have you changed the elbow in the turbo correct? If you have done all that then yes your boost is low.



If you haven't changed the elbow in the turbo (don't do it if you have no boost module)... ... . then your boost is acceptable.

mine just plugs into the pump, and thats it...

You won't see anything over 19 to 20 max... . the wastegate is opening and dumping the boost at the "stock" levels.

Jake, I think it is time for a boost module and some more fuelOo. Oo.
