Hey fellas. (And ladies if there are any)
I've got my 92 7.3 turboed with a factory setup from a 93.
Right now it's at the factory setting pushing 8lbs max.
I DO have a boost gauge and I DO have a pyrometer.
The truck is running a 3" downpipe and 3" straight pipe from there to a side exit. I eventually plan to go to a 4" from the downpipe.
Fuel is turned up a bit, not too much though and I seem to be running happy egts across the board.
My question is- what is the SAFE maximum amount of boost I want to run with this NA engine? I don't want to eat head gaskets, but I would also like to see a little more than 8lbs when im hauling up the malahat on the island here.
Thanks for any input!
Cheers
Benny
