Was the turbo completely stock? It looked like you were hitting a max of ~22lbs boost according to the map sensor but that looks like it was a "tuned" max. What kind of boost numbers did you see?
Given the "hydraulic advantage" of about 7:1 inside a stock AD injector, it equates to about 1750 PSI of fuel injection pressure.

It is a completely stock turbo. The 22 PSI of boost is read from the DLC so it's what the computer is "seeing". That is the mechanical limit of the stock MAP sensor, so it's all we get to look at. A mechanical gauge plumbed into the intake tract would likely show about 10 PSI more than that. Not that 32 PSI is good, but that's the reasoning for the ONLY 22 PSI showing up in the datalogs.

Thanks Cody, figured you would see this here.

32 psi makes sense but doesn't make for lengevity! Yes, I understood the boost reading maxing out, just was wondering what the mechanical reading was, thanks.

I like the smooth curve of run #3 on the stage 1's myself even though the ICP was higher.

Will a package purchase be available for injectors and tune?

Was looking to pickup FU1 when I get back from Afghanistan next month. But with seeing this would be inclined to purchase a set of stage 1's and what ever tuning you suggest FU2? Great results pretty much exactly what I am looking for!!!

I have a feeling a "stage 1 package" would be a hot seller. Just sayin...

Hope to see another update when you have the chance!

Speaking of which, I am in the market for stage 1s and a phoenix chip. Would you be interested in selling the stage 1s from your build once you upgrade to the stage 2s? Throw me a package deal for your slightly used injectors and a chip?

No window shopping here, 100% committed to purchase.

Default 399 is a good number

nice to see you working with a pmr enigne with high mileage.... thats what im workin with. although i want to stay around 375hp or so. I dont want to have to mess with blowing headgaskets or replacing rods. I also dont want to have to worry about breaking somthing 1000 miles from home! So for you to do all the testing on your pmr truck is nice to have! And btw do you have a way of measuring the cly pressures thats going on in there or the drive pressures? thanks

This is awesome info Bill. I'd like to get up there close to 400hp and stop for longevity sake on my PMR's. It's great to know I can get there with Stage 1 injectors and the proper tuning. I'm really surprised you didn't have to do anything with the turbo to get here, but what do I know?!
