Hello everybody! This is my first post, so hopefully I don't mess it up. I just bought my first diesel a couple of weeks ago. 2004 2500 LB7 crew long box with 39,000 miles. A shirt-tail relative has Parkinson's and is no longer able to drive it. The truck is sterile but I'm considering a few things.
On Ebay, they are selling these PPE boost valves for 20-30 bucks that take stock boost from 18-20 up to 26psi. So what are the concerns? is it really that easy? What would be the expected hp gain?

Is it hard on injectors? Because I'd take longevity over an extra few ponies.

What about the Banks boost valve for $195?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Cool- thanks for the info. - I really appreciate it.
Voltage- I can't believe you put slicks on that to drag race- that is AWESOME!
So how did you level your front end?

DrededSS- I gotta ask- what the HELL is that picture of???

First they had David Koresch. Now that. Man, Waco Tx must be one crazy town!!

Nice! Thanks for the info.
So would you know what psi of boost is considered max for the LB7? I know gas engines will push head gaskets- but what about the Duramax?
Saaaay.. I'm upgrading to 285s soon- did tweaking the torsion bars give you what you wanted? Did you get longer shocks or extenders?

Cool thank you very much. Good to know. Glorious numbers on the dyno!

Cool- thanks for the info. I was just wanting a few more psi so this might be good (for now). Nice to know it will improve with add-ons.

35 psi out of the stock turbo? Friggin' sweet!

Really? I don't know anything about PPE. Why not?

I see. At the risk of sounding like a retard, what are duel fuelers? I've worked on tons of gas motors but know squat about working on diesels. I am familiar with the Banks name and would not hesitate to buy their products.
