On the 02's I now that between 48 and 52psi you can pop the head gasket, I would think that the 03's would be about the same. Mike

Re:Max boost on HO

Rods truck would touch 26 psi on his boost gauge.

My lil truck was doing over double that...of course that was past the factory specs by a lil bit.

Next truck should be up there too.

I also have read of a few 3rd gens running over 50 lbs of boost and the head gasket is holding.

The head on my truck comes off after the break in.
