Ok you can see my setup, I cant get the turbo to run less than 44 lbs boost . And from a stand still WOT my egts will hit 1500 by the time Im running 80 mph. I know the stock turbo needs to run 35 lbs max. what can I do to help my problem???Please any advice???

 

There are many here that will better answer your question, but I would start with your right foot, that would definitely help. You could also slide that #10 to the stock position and that should lower fuel delivery, which should lower boost.

 

That is strange...Its almost the same setup like mine without the 215 pump.I'm lucky to hit 30PSI...Anyone else??

 

I just recently (Saturday) went through this same situation. 40 psi boost and 1,400 EGT.

I slid my #10 plate back .040". Recommended is .020" at a time but I knew mine was positioned forward of the stock position. The EGT's now top out at 1,000 but the boost will still reach 40 psi. I drive by the pyrometer and right foot, especially when towing.

 

now u can understand the importance of gauges. I still can't believe that shop told u not to install gauges. 1500 is dangerous for extended periods, and 44 psi of boost isn't great to be running on the stock turbo. you should probably take out the tst elbow to lower the boost some.

 

Yeah, that shop is full of ****. I have learned alot from all yall on here and now I wonder why I didnt do the work myself. Im gonna slide my plate back and see how that works out. but for now Im just takin it easy. Thanks for the help

 

moving the plate back some will help mpg's to. From the sounds of it, you might look to save up for a bigger turbo, i think it would help power and EGT's alot. And you could get a 4" Downpipe and exhaust, and than you could look into some Dv's for more power.

 

Yeah i thought a turbo was in my future and since I got my gauges I know it is. Ill slide the plate back in a bit when it cools down, so Im probably runnin 300 hp then?? Hopefully Ill get it on the dyno tomorrow if I get off work in time.
