Maybe its because I just woke up but what is an "OB" BBQ, Amigo?damn, you missed a hell of a OB BBQ last weekend in Santa Clara
15 psi is good on a 7.3, on a 6.9 you don’t want to push much more than 8-10 without studs. You can go through a do a warm retorque on the stock head bolts for a bit more reliability. I really don’t recommend putting a turbo on a 6.9 without studs just because of the head gasket issues they have just na. That being said, I had a customer who ran a R&D turbo kit with a stage one turbo with one of my 130cc pumps on a bone stock 6.9. He torqued the head bolts to 100ft lbs warm and it lasted two summers at 18 psi with an external wastegate. I think his was able to hold more because of the larger turbo which made less back pressure than your typical stock sized turbo. Less back pressure means less cylinder pressure, so less force trying to lift the head.
The h1c is a stout turbo, and if you ever want more from it, it can be easily upgraded to a precision 64mm comp wheel and hx40 turbine wheel. Lots of options with the holset platformAs saburai stated it is studded. Since I'm using an h1c from an automatic first gen (larger exhaust housing) I should have pretty low back pressure compared to like an 093 or something similar. the reason i say that is my buddy has one and i put the 2 side by side and the wheels or very similar in size but the housings on the cummins turbo are much bigger.
