smarty beta and mp-8 @100% all the time when not towing. Maybe I should rethink this though, if Omaha runs his truck like I do except he has a preassure gauge and feels that it might be to much then maybe I should back off a little...... na then I will talk myself into getting some fluxes and and stop bein such a tight wad.

Is it that bad? I guess I assumed that if it was to much it would hit the blow off valve and I would notice. I know I need a guage though but I just figured I would know if somethin was wrong.

You'll never know when it hits the relief valve. Get a rail gauge. I'm suprised your injectors are still alive.

ok? turbos are weird about that stuff. Seems to me that 6 speeds don't bark as easy as autos.

1. Run pressure daily
2. Run pressure only at the track/Dyno
3. Never run pressure

Tried to set this up as a poll but I am not that smart.
