boost gauge stock turbo register at all?? how far shold my boost gauge go up to ?being stock and still be able move the needle?2002 24 valve ctd auto ,with stack no major mods

 

around 19 or 20psi at WOT

 

I have seen 20psi on mine.

It's wastegated there, so you won't see more till you block the wastegate, add a boost fooler and add more fuel.

Don't want to much higher than 35psi on the stock turbo though.

SO if i buy a 30 psi boost gauge my stock turbo will move it enough to play with and maybee peg it? thanks all

 

boost fooler

 

Built into most timing or fueling boxes.

If computer sees too much boost it turns down the fuel.
Boost fooler makes the computer think it's seeing less than the maximum.

you won't be able to peg it stock...

a boost fooler(part of the EZ programming) tricks the computer into seeing a set amount of boost(20psi I believe) and with a boost elbow(comes with the EZ) you will be able to run upwards of 32 psi...

the most boost I've run is 21 psi but that's another advantage of the H.O... 1 extra pound of boost..

 

Can't use the elbow on a 2002 auto trannied truck.
Hardlined wastegate.

Have to use one of the other methods:

Turnbuckle, Turbo Master, or .22 shell.

dieselminded- Search button up above is our friend, use it wisely.

yeah.. I remebered that about 20 secs after I posted...

 

thanks

 

Turnbuckle, Turbo Master, or .22 shell. What are they and where can I get one and what do they do.and will it make my stocker smoke ??????$$$$????

 

No, I would think it would have the opposite effect.
By providing more boost (air) you should decrease smoke.

The Turnbuckle, .22 or Turbo Master are just ways of preventing the wastegate from venting boost.

Rich.

 

.22 a caseing I figger? where do I put it to plug my waste gate and would I notice a diffrence
