What was the reading on the pyro?
It’s all about air density, as gale Banks has been pushing a lot lately on the diesel community, the boost gauge is dead. Boost is really a poor measurement of performance because less air density correlates to higher boost numbers and less power. I typically see about 2-3psi less boost than most people because of my intake setup, instead of pulling air from under the hood through a proper filter I’ve got a 3” pipe with a screen covering the inlet pulling cool outside air. If you left your hood off and did the same, you would see a drop in boost and a increase in performance too. I’m not sold on a lot of banks products, but their data monster system is very intriguing to me, having the ability to fully data monitor a mechanical engine without computer control I think would really help push idi performance to the next level, but at the moment it’s way out of my price range. Maybe I’ll get one on the race truck next year.Ah gotcha. Pretty wild you're getting so much power with just 2psi more boost than me! I for one would love to see that turbo mod, especially if you can find time on the dyno for a before and after. But either way would be good.
Well if anybody on will get one first, it will definitely be you.Maybe I’ll get one on the race truck next year.
Overall, very pleased with the trucks performance, but do need to get some new rear tires soon.
Glad to see you turning people away from the Dark Side!I’ve taken a few psd guys for rides in it and it’s made a few people sell their newer trucks to build a classic that is done depreciating.
