assuming its an anti theft valve on your fuel line. Why not paint it red so the theives cant see it:eeek:
 
Jonathon was the first around us to try it.. 02 I think, maybe 03. Pinched the line off with some visegrips on the dyno to try and squeeze some more out of it.. Turbo went bye bye on the next run :redneck:
 
waste gates are over rated.... i just pull the hoze off mine... 50+psi....
hell... now that i eliminated the creep i can hit 20 psi by 1200 rpm
 
dirtymax?

yeup that was a dirtymax. For some reason the dmax and the powerchoke can't handle excessive boost all that well (for stock turbos atleast). The dodges you can pinch off the wastegate and no problem. But over a certain amount you aren't getting anywhere anyways. I ran 45 psi for a LONG time on my stocker. But anything over 34 or so really wasn't doing anything for me.

I'll trade ya :D

You see the dirtymax ran 9.40's? There's more in it too. I definitely wouldn't dump it. Just cause the stock turbo can take a dive doesn't mean you should sell the truck. I'm on my 5th turbo, 4th clutch, 2nd head gasket. delivery valves a few times.. fuel plates a few times, heads gotta get ported to flow worth a crap. Injectors will get changed out again soon. Trust me, you've got a good truck.
