am i like the only dmax with gauges out here :sos:
But for fun I'm anywhere from 8-15 depending on conditions while not towing. |
When I'm cruising at 70 mph unload. I see 3-5 psi on my boost gauge.

I dont think it matters what diesel ya drive in the end the boost gauge is basically a work gauge.....................the higher the boost the more fuel or harder the motor is being loaded :humm:
bottom line here is I dont think ya can pin a number on this |
something is wrong because most 6.5s make 1-3 PSI of boost cruisin and we have smaller turbos and a lot lower top boost number. something is wrong with your turbo or something relalated to it
|
well i got 15mpg this tank... im suspecting a boost leak somewhere gonna have to look
boost looks too low for me, its only been 50 or so days since ive actually looked at them gauges |
Are you seeing more smoke and higher egts? I would think that would also indicate a leak. I don't get to hung up on boost numbers unless they are dramatically different under the same conditions.

i was gettin almost 100* hotter at times.
i tightened all the clampes down some more and it seemed to help a bit. i really need to get to tuning this booger. never had good injectors with efi live before :D |
Finnaly got a chance to go out and check for ya mine ran anywhere from 1.6 to 2.2 psi on flatish ground. So either that's normal or we both have somthing wrong
|
you got your truk back?
|
i'll check and see what i'm runnin here in a few minutes. i wanna say it's not much. but idk. I'm about to post a thread cause i'm havin some weird stuff happen with my boost.
