Hi everyone i just purchased a 06 LBZ and and didnt know what is a safe max boost i can run is? motor and tranny "auto 1000". I had a dodge and i could run 45psi all day long. needless to say i went for a ride in a chevy and was sold. any input would be a big help. Thanks

LBZ's can handle 32lbs. I like to see them run 26-30, much over that and they are off there map and power decreases and egt's climb.

Well put, take this advice or your turbo will go

Thanks for the info. with just my edge it is making 31-32. should i turn it down or just limit the egt's?

My edge juice w/attitude also shows pretty high numbers, I can get in the high thirties if i get in it real hard. I am not sure these numbers are real accurate, but I dont know anyone who has run a mechanical guage with there edge to know if this is close or not. My egts get high enough 1400+ that i dont run it turned up untill I can get those egt numbers down which i havent found a reasonably cost efficient way of doing this yet. so I keep mine off of levels 5 and 6.
