Sea Level vs Altitude Tuning

[Jackpine]

Where the heck are you getting the power to drive this blower? It's got to come from somewhere, and I doubt a turbine in the exhaust could supply it.

Is it a belt driven supercharger? And, even then, that much boost (at sea level) takes an enormous amount of power. You're talking a 340% increase!

You're dead right, southpaw. I know next to nothing about diesels, but the numbers you're quoting just seem way out of line.

I'm happy to have my opinion changed though. Just point me to one of these beasts that can produce those numbers and I'll crawl back under my rock.

Well just look at the boost gauge in any stock or modified diesel there is a reason you can buy 60PSI boost gauges.. But we are really getting off topic and would be better in a new thread as I would really like to get some feedback on the subject of this thread
