Just slid my stock plate foward made a very noticible difference ;D ;D ;D but ive noticed now at wide open throttle about 2000 rpm's and up my truck is making around 27 lbs of boost. why is this i thought the truck was only supposed to make around 22?? confused ???

 

i wont have a problem with the turbo handling that boost right

 

niiice ;D ;D ;D surprised how much the plate helped. cant wait til i get the new plate

 

If you have the fuel, you can go up to 36-38 psi before you start to super heat the air (your then out of the efficiency range of the turbo). I have mine set to 38 for most hills & loads. I can hit 40-42 on rare occations. I definately get out of it slowly when at those pressures. Over 32 and the turbo starts to sound different. Generally, the turbo's will stay together till approx. 46-49psi. (I'm assuming an HX35/12)

 

So if I slide my stock plate forward then the boost will go up with it? I thought that it was waste gated to make 19-20 lbs? Now im ??? Do I have to make a manual boost controller or no? If not Im going to slide it forward tonight.

all you have to do is slowly grind your stock one flat and then do the lever adjust

Not really stupid at all. You've got a different engine. The plate sliding is something all of us 'properly valved' ;D folks do to get some extra HP. It's the forerunner to the Edge EZ (or comp if you go with a really aggressive plate.)
If you want extra HP, you can buy a fueling box. I would definitely get gauges first, though!

BTW...Welcome to the site. Once you start BOMBing, it's hard to stop!!!
