Finished insatall of new engine runs great, but at times hard to start. Need more boost. I think I should be able to pull 20psi now. BD reflash limits to 15 pounds. TDG any thoughts on pump any help appreciated.

where did you get the new engine at?


what else is done to it other than the pistons?


after the break in period, try switchin to a 5w40 oil, like rotella t synthetic or such. that should help your hard starts. Edited by: steiner43511
