Will a stock turbo hold up with a Wastgate Accuator and a PPE boost valve? Im trying to run as much boost as i can safely without having to drop 2 grand on a new turbo. Is this a smart decision and is there any other options?

 

you may be able to do it, but you have to balance your intake temperature, which rises drastically outside of the turbo's optimal range, as well as drive pressure. You may be able to make more boost but could actually lose power.

 

not worth it at all. i dont run a boost valve anymore cause i didnt like how it made the extra boost, and extra boost isnt always the answer, its actually a measurement o restriction and the more boost you push out of the stocker the more heat you will get and the less efficient it will get

 

So what would be the most efficient and poweful set up for the stock turbo?

 

im using a banks big head actuator, i have it set to 32psi before the IC

 

thats the ticket

 

iirc banks only recommended like 6 turns or so on the actuator, i have like 16 on there

 

is what banks is saying to you

 

i havea stock turbo and wastegate with the ppe valve installed between them. i also have the juice w/ additude. on stage five i can push 32# of boost no problem i think thats about the max boost you can get out of a stock turbo becuase it wont go over that 32#. i dont want to go over that without headstuds anyways. i would hate to lift a head

 

ive pushed 37 out of my stock turbo for a while, it sounded cool but really didn't do anything. motor was fine too.

i was able to even push 32 psi with out a boost valve and with the stock waste-gate by dumping a lot of fuel in to the engine, again that really didn't help out either.
