I'm got a 01 cummins every thing stock but I just got an afe wastegate set for 40 psi.. Will it hurt anything to put it on a stock truck?

On a stock truck anything after 35psi is usless. If 40 psi was possible

you can put it on there, but with stock fuel you wont be anywhere close to 40, stock VP44 trucks make about 20-24psi max

It might a little but it wont be very noticeable. Put a bhaf filter on it. Even with a boost fooler 40 psi isnt doing anything for you unless you have way more fuel going in. Plus its not really good to be hitting that with the stock holset.

Well if your fueling can push it that far then 32-35 is about max.
