Thats unknown territory for me. I'm still pretty new to diesels and so far one turbo is enough for me to worry about.

run 22 pounds of boost and get a mop and a basket to clean up the mess... IDI max boost pressure is 10 to 12 pounds... the compression is too high for anymore boost with out studs and piston change.

Same on the Banks kit I have, but the airbox is right on top of the engine where an air filter would be on a gasser.

The Banks tech told ,me if I ran enough pressure to need studs, I'd just blow out the bottom of the motor.

The tech and several others have told me not to run much higher than that.

If your goal is 20psi Id build a custom kit if I were you, by the time you get there if you can get that much with any off the shelf kits they are gonna be doing more harm than good
