Diesel boost levels?

[TurboStutr]

What kind of boost levels are you diesel guys running? And in the past I've heard trucks running in excess of 80 and 90psi, is this true?

[Patrick]

I believe stock boost on the newew pickups are anywhere from 20-30psi.

I've heard of 190-200 psi on dual turbo setups on the 5.9's before

i run 50-60 with a 64mm turbo depending on if i'm on nitrous and how much fuel i'm throwing at it. there are guys running 60-80 with a street twins and 100+ on a set of racing twins...... it's very hard to get a racer to tell how much boost they are really running. boost to me isn't really how much power you have.... it's how much restriction there is. on a larger turbo you can make the same power with a lower ammount of boost due to the volume. you're a turbo guy and prolly already knew that..... just figured i'd throw my 2 cents in.....

wow thats insane. thanks for the info guys.

i forgot to add those guys with 60+ psi are running a real low compresstion pistons, o-ringed blocks and/or heads, copper or MLS head gaskets and either 12mm or 14mm head studs. i'm still on the 1996 stock head gasket and head bolts. i'm running on borrowed time..... knock on wood....

Dayum! I knew those trucks got way outta control.
