Question How much boost from a Super B?

Anyone know how much boost a Super B turbo should make? When I bought it I was told to expect almost 50 pounds. I don't have a boost gauge yet. Thanks for any responses.

my super B turbo, was waste gated at 44psi.
my TST box read 40psi, but thats all it went to, but i have other gauges, and the boost gauge would pull 44psi, and no more. if i would have played with the waste gate, i am sure i could have done more, but why.
that was fine for me.
anyway, the lower the power settings i ran, the lower the boost numbers.

45 is all I could ever get out of my HTB2 on my 03. You're probably in the same boat. You're not going to see high boost numbers unless you're putting the fuel to it regardless of your turbo....

According to BD, the super b is efficient up to 45psi, although it can handle higher pressures. Most are wastegated from BD between 38-40psi. Mine blows off around 39psi, haven't adjusted it. I like mine so far.

Chris has qualified for final jeapardy It's a good strong turbo that can flow alot through its tiny pie hole of an outlet. If you are heavily fueled you can get their Super B special....ks
