I have been running my edge comp without the pump tapped and I just barely tapped the pump about two weeks ago, and now when I turn to level 5 and get on it I can push about 38 to 39 pounds of boost. Is that much boost too much for a stock turbo.

 

No from what I've read on here, a stock turbo is godd to about 40 lbs or so.Your still good with that.

 

There are many opinions on this one. Basically anything above 30-35 psi is just hot air, not very good. I have my waste gate set at 28-30 psi.

 

So after 30 psi the intercooler just can't cool it fast enough or what

 

depending on which turbo you have

40 psi is way too much for a HY35,(hy found on 01-02 automatic trucks) identified by a hard metal line to the actuator.

at the higher psi the turbo is out side its efficency range and the exhaust drive pressure is higher than the boost its making, this helps drive
exhaust temps out of control easily. andthe turbo would be overspinning to achieve the higher boost numbers.
all that being said some people still push them way past accepted safe limits

fill out your sig so we can help better, (depending on your mods, you may be overfuelling you turbo)

 

i dont know what turbo i got but its on an 02 manual transmission. from what i have been told is that the manual transmission trucks have a bigger turbo than the auto trans is that true i posted all my mods on my details idk if they will show up when i post this or not i dont know how to work this site yet
