...because I needed some wiper blades for the truck. I was looking around while I was in there and saw their gauges. I said "wow" 35 bucks for a boost gauge, I might as well get one. Then I noticed it only went to 20... I walked over and asked the guy that works there if they have any boost gauges that go to at least 40 and he just looked at me and said what would you need that much on a boost gauge for? I just said well I make about 30-35 stock so.... He just gave me this dumbfound look as I turned and walked off.....

 

lol Got to remember not many people know of bombing out diesels...some people I tell ya

 

I would buy it just to try to break it and take it back saying something was wrong with it tell the guy there is no way I am making more than 20 psi of boost

 

Some young airmen where I work are into the NOPI scene.
They were talking about their Fast & Furious wannabe "ricers" and mentioned their "Huge" (8 - 10 psi) boost readings.....
I mentioned I was launching @ 15 and hitting 35 psi at WOT.........and I'm one of the "Little" guys.
They looked at me like "Suuuuure, whatever"
Then I gave a couple of them a ride...........

 

Ain't it neat that a 7300# truck can stomp a 2500# car?

They never ever see it coming.

 

^^^

indeed, i love it so.....

between my two rams i had a Subaru Impreza WRX STI (it was a phase!! leave me alone) 300hp, 300tq stock awesome little car and great fun in the twisties but my CTD is really something else. when i get a wild hair for a track car i may buy another STI or a Lotus Elise but I know this CTD will be with me for a very long time

 

You should take out the stop on it and do a lil ghetto mod we do to the cheap Cobra owners cars.

 

On the same kind of note I love when people tell my buddy who has an '01 24v that "all you have to do is turn the pump up, *makes twisting motion with his hands* it's really easy too!". Lol I told a guy I used to work with that when I add a bigger turbo I will wastegate it to around 50 PSI, he went on about how bad it will hurt the bottem-end of the motor etc, when I told him the stock rods are supposed to be good for 80 PSI his jaw dropped

 

Dang.... Love the ghetto fab, those cars aren't cheap either.

 

I bet you felt proud asking for a 40 psi gauge.

 

i work at advance auto here in lexington ky i walk around with my cummins hat and cummins shirt pin on all the time. any body that walks in with a diesel and asks questions about bombing they get sent straight to me when im working.

 

maybe i need to drive a few hours to lex to buy my parts from you since you know what you are talking about...
