I have a 2003 duramax and i was woundering what the max boost is for a stock turbo, if the motor was already built with all aftermarket parts? so far i reach anywhere from 37-41 psi i have ran it like that for about 20,000 miles and have had no problems yet with the turbo end of things.

Stock turbo will not last long at anything over 32..
Do you have a boost gauge..?

it has a pyrometer and boost. i know thats what it is reaching, i took it off my motor and had it rebuilt just in case, the parts will still be oem but im looking for a good long term psi to run.

30 sounds like a good even number..........
