gauges and gsk kit installed how much boost
Hey guys I got my gauges installed today along with the gsk I got a #6 plate and a home made boost fooler I am getting 19 pounds of boost and I can run the egt's right to 1200* How much boost can I boost this engine and still be on the safe side? What a difference the springs make the truck feels a lot more responsive.

CGS:<br> Like Daniel said with the same set up I get 42-44 lbs of boost. I'm runnin a 14cm turbo housing and a 4" exhaust. EGT's seem to stay around 700-800 empty. Cruising at 1800 rpm in fifth over I stay at 600.<br><br> That help a little?<br><br>..Preston..

[quote author=CMNS_PWR link=board=16;threadid=9060;start=0#87053 date=1041459062]<br>Wastegate disabled, no gsk, #6 plate I made 36psi. With the addition of 370 injectors only, it went up to 42psi, way off the efficiency map for the HX35.<br>[/quote]<br> 
Dang Daniel!<br><br>With my factory plate & AFC housing full forward I can hit 30-32lbs of boost! Going up a hill I can hit 35lbs. but it comes right back down and I don't get a chance to see the EGT's!<br><br>Can't wait to get my GSK installed tomorrow!!

Got smoke you will love the springs I can't beleave the difference it made. I went through the side of the pump plumb easy to change the worst part was getting the rear bolt in the fuel shut off back in. Have fun Matt
