Silver Bullet boost#'s

Just got the II's Silver bullet and was thinking it was set at 45psi of boost out of the box. What are you guys runnig for boost with these turbo's? Iwas running 46-48psi with my 64/71/13 and it cooled quite well. What is your guys take on this. I'm anxious Can't wait to se how this turbo is on the top
thanx
Chris

the latest SB with the 74mm wheel comes set at 45psi. Brady told me 55psi is pushing it's efficiency and that 45 to 50psi is the optimal range for the 66.

My Silver 64 was set at 45 from II, however, a couple of different tune combinations, and I can hit 50-52psi pretty easily. I've been told so much fuel can overwhelm the wastegate, so 45psi isn't necessarily going to be the norm. It all depends on your fueling capabilities...

What was your initial thoughts when you made the 64 to silver swap. I think i'm going to leave it at it's preset point for know and see how much fuel is getting burned and egts.
And also, when you guys adjust the little allen screw for boost adjustment are you putting any silicone or loctite on to keep it there?

I take and put that screw in to the max on eveyturbo I own. With my silverbullet I get around 55 on the street, about 45 on the dyno,, and about 65 when I spray. Never have any egt problems with this turbo

The little Screw on the brass elbow with the yellow hooked up to it. Screw it in to get more boost. I think. My turbo opens the wastegate at 50psi and it surely screams

I read my boost mechanically. So I know the number I see is correct.

Is the SB 66 a 2.6 or 2.8?

Thanks
Buddy
