Boost related questions - stock turbo
So, this month I'm putting in a whistlin' wheel and bellowed up-pipes and the Dieselsite turbo-master... along with a few other non-turbo-related mods.
Some questions: 1) How much boost can the stock turbo live with? (I'm not looking to blow it up, but I want to get more out of it.) 2) If I dial the turbo-master up beyond 22psi, should I put a boost relief valve or boost fooler in there? (Looking at the Dieselsite BRV+ product for this.) 3) If I do the boost valve/fooler, I would put in an analog boost guage in the cab so I can read the actual boost number vs. what the PCM is being fooled into reading (22psi max). I'm running a PHP Gryphon 99% of the time on an 80HP tune. If I put in the boost valve/fooler, does this effect my tuning? Thanks in advance for your wisdom! :cheesy smile: |
Sometimes its just easier to find things, I'm at a slight advantage because I remember reading this a while back.
1) I'm going to pass this question, but here's an excellent post by Cody Quote:
3) N/A, see #2. ;) |
Everyone I talk to says boost fooler not needed with php, but today I unplugged my wastegate, to get past 24psi, and once I hit 25-26psi my SES light came on? after a couple miles it went back off.
sorry, maybe I should start my own thread, |

turbo master
I have the turbomaster wate gate controller and it is adjusted to not allow the gate to open at all. It may have helped low end power. I have a pressure regulater on my map sensor line. All of this was a waste of money. Even with my 100 hp performance tune I stay under 24 psi. I don't know how others get such high boost but it sounds like it would be a bad thing with the stock turbo anyway. By the way the ATS turbo housing was the best thing I could have done to get rid of bad noise.

Save your money on the bellow up pipes. I spoke to a powerstroke mechanic about that. He pulls the upper pipe housing off replaces the seals then he takes the metal hold down piece and shave 20 thousandth off of them. He he says he clamps down really hard on the seals and they won't leak.

The up-pipes expand and contract with engine operation and that will eventually wear out the seals. The bellowed pipes eliminate that wear point. They will not develope any leaks whatsoever during the entire service life. |
