Ok I don't think I understand what your saying fi are you saying that the turbo goes into regeneration because smarty and hs performance both turn off the squirt injection cycle therefore killing the regeneration from a injection stand point and I know my dpf/egr where deleted at 1800 miles long before hg problems occured

Yes. By significantly reducing exhaust temperatures you reduce the stress on the gasket.

Thats likely because you're using stacked tuners (guessing from your post). We already know the HE351 is small for the stock power. Those wanting more need to look into a compound add-on or a larger VGT (HE451Ve, HE551Ve or HE561Ve). Downgrading to a single wastegated turbo is not a smart solution.

I agree my truck isn't really a good examle but countless other trucks have blown head gaskets on just a programmer. I love my single wastegated it makes awesome power and is very streetalbe even on stock injectors although larger vgts make good power also spool up off the line is near as quick as stock. I don't understand how its not smart from a performance standpoint

Just wanted to understand what he was sayings I couldn't tell if he agreed or disagreed. I stand behind my original post do is not the cause a blown hg ,but īt does relate to cylinder pressure (which does). I'm here to learn and help people. Even if your the "best" at what you do if you stop learning you can only go so far

Question

Hey guys, new to the site, but not the problem. I agree with most here, but I think what has been missed is the heat that the heads see when the ebp psi gets too high. I believe the heads (gasket included) can see cylinder pressures well into the thousands, the extra 60-80 psi itself is not too big a deal. I guess a good example is the ebp pressures when using the exhaust brake (70 psi+) stock, and this is not blowing head gaskets. Just my .2 cents but I think it is the 50-60 psi ebp with no where to go (little heat dissipated) when you are accelerating. IMO a waste gate will rob you of some of your exhaust brake performance (depending on how its set up) but will save you from all heat generated by the ebp when under a load, it is well worth it to me. ...i think....
