My stocker went above 50 psi once on a good launch but then it blew up.

Sorry I did not see your post earlier. I have tried Turbonetics, Greddy, etc. and none really worked with the amount of boost we run. There is a guy in Florida that specializes in Mitsubishi Starion performance and he made one for me. I have to dig out my e-mail from him to get you a number if you want it. PM me if you want more info.

Thats alright. I was just asking more out of curiosity than anything else. Some other folks on here may like to have that info though!

Thank you for your time.

What year truck? Fill out your sig. 03-04.5 is one thing. If its 04.5 or newer something is wrong. You could probably benefit from a boost fooler although I won't argue with changing from Banks either.

The HE351 starts to run off of the efficiency island ~38psi, but it keeps making more power up to 50psi... just not as efficiently - and at the cost of crazy drive pressure.

Do you have the Big Head Wastegate actuator? It might not be adjusted properly. I have the 6 Gun bundle and have no problem hitting 34 PSI with the actuator in the "stock" adjustment.
