MAX BOOST PSI

[Strokethis9]

i was just wondering what my stock turbo is able to put out without blowing it because i took the redtube off and on my 120 race tune i can hit 30 and i let off because im kinda scared i dont want to blow nothing

[scheidt27]

anything over 25-27 and its not running efficient, more heat. I keep mine at 25

Keep the wastegate hose connected and run the 80 for most of everyday use and you shouldn't have an issue with the stock turbo.

I usually switch back and forth, but the economy tune is what I run 80% of the time.

yeah i run the 80 tune also but i recently got my gauges and so i took the wastegate hose off to see what i could do and i was told that it wouldn't hurt anything keeping unplugged but im thinking im going to put plug it back in i dont want problems

[Lord Tauk]

Nah it wont hurt anything for drag strip use or something like that, everyday pounding it to 30 might eventually cause a problem. I only unplugged mine just for racing, but I usually keep it connected just because.

I think I read somewhere the stock turbo is useless passed 25ish anyway.

Over 30psi and it only pushing superheated air which makes no power.

were is this hose you disconect? im just curious i havent played with my turbo much

[dsl_pwrd_ford]

it's a red line that goes to the wastegate, that's on the driverside of the turbo
