    Yeah, click on any of these
    Matjack High Pressure Air Lifting Bags On Matjack-Indianapolis Industrial Products
    They all have the same working pressure but different lift capacity. The only difference is size. You’re 4’ X 4’ bag will lift a lot more than the one under my seat at 7psi. Why? Surface area.

    Basically like hydraulics..... you can multiply the push / pull force simply by increasing the bore size of the cylinder. Pressure stays the same.

    These are similar to the ones I have used. We would use the ones shown in your link just to get the trailer high enough to get the bigger ones underneath.

    Yeah that's fine.
    850 post turbo EGT's are no biggie.
    If you start getting over 950-1000, then you need to think about backing out of it, or being a 2 pyro guy. One EGT post turbo, and one clamped to the manifold to measure heat soak.

    I use EGT's as an early warning indicator, and I pay close attention to heat soak when working hard. High EGT's for short intervals don't hurt anything, during prolonged efforts though, the manifold and turbo will absorb more heat than they're capable of withstanding.

    Great analogy, bigger cylinder more lifting power at any psi.

    What is it like 300 degrees difference pre and post turbo? I could be thinking wrong.
