Turbo experts, can I keep my wastegate clamped off???
I have an HTB2 62/12 turbo on my 07 Ram. I have not been able to get more than 35 psi out of this thing no matter what combo of boxes I have on the truck. It was suggested for me to clamp off the hose to the WG and see if I get more boost. Well, I did it and I hit almost 40psi today with my Predator/Puck combo on the moderate setting. Before clamping it off I got a max of 31-32psi. Now, I made a hard pull but if I would have stayed in it longer I think the boost would have risen more but I doubt it would have gone above 45psi. I know that 40-45psi won't hurt the turbo but would there be any drawbacks to keeping the hose clamped off????
I do have a Quad boost fooler on the truck BTW....

I'm a little out of my league here on a newer truck and aftermarket turbo so don't take this to heart. Just throwin out a thought here. I think I would be more worried about a head gasket at 40psi then I would be of hurtin the turbo. This is where you get into the new studs or fire ringed head.
