if you wire the wastgate shut then you can push more boost (if desired) IIRC dyoung was pushing 28lbs when his headgaskets blew. and just out of curiousity what are MSL gaskets?

I tac welded the actuator arm shut. Not to call out dyoung, but I'm thinking his gauge was off..(HF gauge) or some other factor was in play. The most I have seen was about 23psi.... the turbo just doesnt have anything else in it. My truck pegs 20psi with EASE, so its not my fueling system.... its the turbo.

MLS = multi layer steel

Whew... made it through another weekend without totally imploding, but this thread reminds me of the disputed border between Israel and the Palistinians. Just one nudge in the wrong direction and the drama will unfold again. I appreciate everyone taking the high road and trying to bring the thread back on course, but at this point the technical merit of this thread is drowning in an undercurrent of malcontent. I think it's in everyones interest that I close it. I invite NMB2 or anyone else to open a new one, and I hope that personal insults, inuendo or what have you might be represed by a fresh window. "Button Pushing" as it were, as long as it is completely in accordance with forum rules is always going to happen. Trying to keep your cool in difficult situations helps make all of us better people. After all, if you just coasted through every day, what would you learn, or how would you better yourself? Let's take a deep breath and start again.
