At what point are head studs/ o-rings req'd?? Because i am thinking about a turbo and injectors... Thanks in advance - A.Wall

 

Some people say as soon as you upgrade your turbo, others say once u go over 45 or 50 psi, but then there are those people running close to 60 psi with neither done, A lot of people will probably reply better safe than sorry and to get it done, I'm not an expert, but seen quite a few posts about topics close to this

 

yea i heard 50 psi was aobut where ya wanted to do it.... better safe than sorry. I've been told i could do small injectors and not ahve to getta new big turbo, but i was thinking if was gonne do it lets do it right and go for the power but i aint got that much $ floatin around haha

 

what do you plan on getting for a turbo and injectors?

 

Ain't really sure yet.. havent researched it that much bc i lack the funds... I was thinking maybe Mach 5 injectors or an equivalent, not sure what the best turbo match would be... also are the 12 or 14 mm ARP studs recommended?

 

12mm studs is all you will need.

 

Whats a good turbo/injector setup if looking for most power up to req'ring O-rings?? (cant afford the firerings /port and polish)

 

If I was to go back to when I first bought my truck studs would have been #2 with gauges #1...

 

So what is considered safe for studs and the stock gasket?

 

I am pushing up to 60 PSI on stock head bolts and a stock gasket and it has held for almost a year now. although i know i am on barrowed time. as for injectors and a Turbo i would call Doug at PDW and tell him what you are after and see what he says.
