thanks 20$ Ill roll up sum quarters n get one.need a cheep fix for my overheating while towing everything replaced & cleaned problem that is keepin me from leavin las vegas 4 fun!

 

The most i have seen on a stock 12 valve turbo is 42 psi, and the head gasket blew within a month. At that much boost, as stated above, it does more harm than good.

 

thanks matt, im going to get a boost elbo or make one.larger head studs&o-ringed head would be needed to handle more than 35 psi boost correct ?just lerning here thanks again.

 

I would say 35 psi is a safe efficient number for stock turbo, gasket, and studs. I have definitely seen people get away with much more than that though...

 

i was running 38 w bolts and no fuel plate and no problems pm me if u want info

i hit about 30 in the 2 1998s i drive and about 38 in my 93 with hx35

 

i have been trying to figure out how much more boost a hx-40 witha big head waste gate will produce compared to the lasts one, and is there any way t adjusts the waste gate instead of just simply blocking it off?
