How much boost?
#2
I peak @ about 7.5 psi . My tune is on the safe side and that happens to be where the 5.5psi spring landed me . I added a 3" straight thu muffler and lost .5 psi. I would not go over 10 without some injection system. Thats just my opinion cause My truck is my daily driver. Keep us informed. I would like to know what your tune ends up at on timing. I think I am way conservative in that area.
Are you still runnin LT's?

I still have long tubes, I wrapped the ypipe and the turbo pipe. I think this waste gate has a 7 psi spring so we will see what we can get out of it, safely of course. What kind of vacuum is ok at idle. I think I have like 10 psi. Then when I rev it it goes to 22 or so.

Also I am not sure about your vacuum reference. 9-10 psi of vacuum (ie -9 to -10 psi) is normal at idle. When you accelerate your vacuum should go to zero and then into boost. You say it goes to 22 when you rev? Is that measure in psi or inches of mercury and is it vacuum or boost that it refers to?

Yeah, I am going to local shop tomorrow to get some 42 or 60s, not sure yet. He has the injector adapters in stock and is a friend so I should get something somewhat cheap. I have not put my foot in it yet, but Im itching really bad. Like giving a fat kid a piece of cake and telling him he cant eat it.
