I might have to wait till you get to 50 posts so I can get that number off you
thanks for the help though. -
Mr haney- you can PM a mod with that phone number and ask them to forward it for you.

Thanks for that information I managed to google it and found him and sent a long winded email hope he can help as Great Lakes didn't want to share any info.
I would say it will be cheaper to buy one of him direct than through Great Lakes. -
I am the LAST person to be telling people about correct spelling but if you try to google it look for:
turboresource......(drop the s on the end)
Lake Havasu........(not Havasaue)
Might be onto a winner here (hope)
Thanks to Mr Haney -
Good Luck with your research with him. -
About timing: when I advanced timing of my Scania V8 from 25 to 27,5 deg. I could turn up fuel 4 turns without going to smoke. I'm not sure how many hp that is, maybe 75-100hp. 30 deg. was too advanced, lost power at lower rpm because it started to "kick back".
About backpressure: Those L10 guys got 950 hp at 4,5bar boost and 6,5bar backpressure. When they switched to larger exhaust housing their boost dropped to 3,5bar and backpressure lower than boost, now they got 1150hp! Good reason to use tight and short exhaust manifold to get all the pulse energy for spinning the larger less restrictive turbocharger.. Turbo is always the most restrictive part in exhaust system.C16KIWI Thanks this. -
I think 50psi is too much for my engine (head gasket) I would like to retain the responce,cool water/pyro temps,and better MPGs but have about 38-42psi.
Do you think it can be done????
By lowering the compression???
I was thinking if I ran a 6nz program instead of the 7cz???
Not sure if any of this will work,just thinking out loud.
The boost can always be controlled by your foot I was just thinking about removing all temtation. -
Its still going to run a crap load of boost Shaun, you just have to resist temptation and take it easy..... By the way the engine will take 50lbs, just for comparison the 17.?:1 625 acert runs 62psi stock.
Dont sweat it.
