And in a year or two mine will work as hard as yours does... Trying to take my time and do it right, without frying my clutch, head gasket or turbo. Tranny is next for me. I have a weak third gear syncro, no shifting into third fast for me. Gonna fix that and do the clutch after the wife and I buy a house, and then its on!

I agree, the house "should" come first...thank God I don't have to make that choice, yet

Having a paid off truck is really nice, too

My boost numbers

over 30 psi thats for sure.. Id say mid 40s for sure with the gate plugged... My gauges are inefficient, and with the gate active, as soon as the gauge is pegged, two seconds later it opens... so im guessin bout 32-35 psi.....

Now Nick and Chris,

I have no gf, and no truck payment, does that make me better off? lol!! Oh well that will last all of a little longer.... im certain...

Wastegated to 40 psi on J.R. Adkins 'Lil' HX-55 with a 14cm turbine.
With everything on full, including H20/Meth, I peak at 45 psi....WOT. Takes 50% Racing Meth to overload the wastegate.....kind of like a built in Manual Boost Controller
