I run the 64/71/13 and at 40 mph I only see about 650*.

I also have Mach 4's (150hp)stixs and the Juice/w Attitude Hot + Smarty. I see 1400 on WOT runs, but if I stay in it for more than a few seconds, the egts drop to about 1250.

My understanding was that the 65mm exhaust wheel was for more of a towing turbo. The 71 I have spools slow, but my truck is a manual, so it is easier to keep things in the ''much higher than stock'' power band.

Is that with injectors alone? You also might be suprised what adding a muffler would do for spool up and egts.

That is actually really good with throwin everything you got at it. Bigger turbos run hotter at cruise that is normal.

Today I was going up a steep hill and i put it to the wood and it got to 1350. I have not seen it over that. Another thing I found when I was checking for boost leaks air was coming out of a little hole on the side of the boost elbow. Is it supposed to do this and if not how do i fix it

Nope! If the hole is threaded you can run a plug. If not, replace the elbow!?!

Id be happy with those temps. If you thread the allen head in farther does the leak stop? Mabey its backed out to far.
