Max efficent stock turbo boost? Stock from the factory, or stock w/ tuner? Or max boost obtainable? Im running 50lb. of boost on the stock engine, and others are pushing it harder if thats what your asking. The stock (Single) turbo does not like much over 34lb.

I was wandering what boost the turbo makes with the stock tune, exhaust, intake, etc.

My gauge is pre-intercooler and I see approx 23psi. I would bet 21psi is making it to the engine.

I have a 2006 LBZ and if I get on it hard the boost will get up to 28lbs and then quickly fall back to 22lbs. On the highway at 110kmph (65 mph) it runs at 5 -6 lbs.

I saw 28 for a second, but that was on a Banks PowerPDA that I was using for guages @ the time. Don't know how accurate the number is.

Mine is tapped pre, and is all stock. Pulling the trailer I have seen it set at 27 for a few minutes while climbing a steep grade.

If you mean max stock boost, the eff. rating is 32-34 lbs, any more than that you probably won't make more power, but you might cool egts
