no boost
 

ok here my problem, i got a new turbo ( a bd super b special) but mt boost gauge will only top out at about 20 psi. put a new gauge in and thats not it, no holes in the hose. only thing i can think of is the intercooler:argh: anyway i can check it or take it to a garage. any suggestions what else to check?

Do you have enough fuel to spool it? Wastegate adjusted?

If you need to pressure test you can make a setup with some pvc tubing caps and a valve stem.

Do you have a module that has a boost fooler on it or a stand alone boost fooler?

Forgot that part too! Thanks h.r.d. if your not getting any boost fooling your engine will derate.

Here to help my friend. :tu:

If ur not getting any boost then those could be ur problems if ur getting some boost with high egts u prob blew out a gasket somewhere or have a leak or crack in a hose

im still running it stock with no programers, im getting the same amount of boost as i did with the stock turbo. what gaskets do i check?

Re: no boost
 

You need boost fooling or u will not see over stock boost numbers. Also need more fuel to get more air.

Yessir, bigger turbo on a stock truck will yield harldy anything because of fueling and boost reading derating your fuel output. You could throw in 200s and still not see good results without boost fooling
