Higher boost levels

[BLACKRAM]

I have the DD TTPM with the boost elbow installed. Some of you guys have very high boost levels ( 40-50 lbs). How do I get higher boost? I currently run about 30 lbs.
Is this the right boost level for my given level of mods( DD2's).

I was seeing 28 psi's at WOT with the EZ (comparable box)and stock injectors. More fuel equals more boost. Right now I'm maxed out at 40 psi's with stage III's. I see that you have installed the boost elbow, I thought all the auto's were hardlined ?

Actually its the 01's and 01. 5's that only seem to have gotten the lovely lil HY35.

Just to clarify things.....

Something doesn't seem right to me. Running with just the DDII's my truck maxes at 32psi. With the mild fueling added box you should be able to get 36-38. Have you checked the entire intercooler/intake system for leaks?

What is considered a "safe" amount of boost? Is there a max amount of boost the manufacturer recommends? Can you blow up the turbo with over boost?

Thanks in advance,
Charles

I can spin my little HX35 to 30-32psi boost with only RV injectors & PS boost module #ad
On my last tank I threw in some Power Service cetane boost and was able to get more--darn near pegged the gauge getting onto the freeway, 34. 5psi #ad
. That stuff works!

hey guys,

21 lb boost stock. with the JVD on 20% and elbow changed, 31lb at WOT and on 50% 42 pounds. everything else is stock, so it would seem to me that boost is a major product of fueling.

Hey Vaughn

They sure are, havn't pulled the trailer yet. But it sure is fun around town. The boost module and 22 get the boost up fast. When are you coming to campbell's?
