most will say 300-350 ish but more than that is possible but things get hot. reliably i wouldnt plan for more than 350 just build your truck for YOUR turbo. dont over fuel it. play to the turbos needs and you will be fine.

the super b is an awesome turbo...but the price tag is not attractive. great spool up and strong running through all PL and gears. imo

My stock turbo rolls around 43psi a lot! However that makes a TON of head pressure... Enough to do some damage.
