TO MUCH BOOST?
Re:TO MUCH BOOST?
I'M STILL CONFUSED HERE? I HAVE SLID MY PLATE FORWARD,AND DIDNT SEE ANY INCREASE IN BOOST? WHY WOULD MORE FUEL INCREASE BOOST? BTW I DID HAVE TO "PINCH" MY SIGNAL LINE TO INCREASE BOOST TO 30. IF IT MATTERS I LIVE AT 7000 FT
Re:TO MUCH BOOST?
Fuel makes more boost by creating more heat energy which drives the turbo. Without any way of fooling the waste gate, you'll always get around stock boost pressures. Removing the waste gate signal is not good as, given the right conditions, you may overboost and grenade the turbo. Think of it this way - The waste gate is an "overflow" valve on a bucket that won't let you go beyond a certain point in filling this bucket. The fuel is the hose that fills the bucket. By increasing fuel, you just went from a garden hose to a fire hose but the overflow valve is still stopping you from going above that point. By restricing the overflow valve it will allow the buck to fill up more but still not go over the top. If you remove the overflow valve then your on your own to keep the bucket from going over the top.

While it is true that the WB is a safty measure your egts would melt the turbo before the boots would blow it. I have seen 45psi out of my stock turbo but at that PSI the fuel that needed to get there was putting my engine in meltdown mode. I have clamped all the WB's on the 12v trucks around me. with the stock plate slid and wg unhooked you will have no problems with the turbo blowing up. I have a #10 and 370 injectors and no broblems.

Re:TO MUCH BOOST?
I've seen 40 out of my HY35 once. Seen the high 30's many times. I try and keep it down around 30-35 though. No problems yet though (knock on wood). Even after 20K+ miles. Shaft is still as tight as it was the day I got it.
