Boost ?

[Iseminger]

I got one for you guys. Whats the pros and cons of pluging

your boost line to the turbo? Does more boost mean more

power?Is 40 too much? I'm runin around 31-32. Should I go

for more,does it really make a difference at that point? I

turned my AFC allen screw in 2 turns yesterday what a

beautifull cloud. Gotta love that locamotive smoke and so

easily controllable. These trucks are so much fun.

You want just enough boost to control EGT, no more. More boost does not mean more power. If you have the stock turbo set the upper limit at about 35 PSI, the air from the turbo is hot enough at that level that it is counterproductive to go any higher. If you cannot control EGT with 35 PSI from the stock turbo you need to go with a larger/aftermarket turbo as well as address the exhuast getting out and the air getting in to the turbo.
