Awesome to see! I was really curious to see the drive pressure difference from stock intake! Can't wait to see where it goes from here with the Chinese hx, keep it up man !
@gingersnapcustoms3 жыл бұрын
So as it stands now... stock turbo wheel and intake 10psi boost 21 drive Wicked wheel with stock intake 10psi boost 18psi drive Wicked wheel with upper intake 10psi boost is 14-16psi drive pressure. Over all the upper intake did the most damage and helped give that turbo a chance to free flow a bit better!

Hello, what is drive pressure? I’ve been around diesels. I have never heard of this term. Can you educate? Thanks
@gingersnapcustoms2 жыл бұрын
The amount of exhaust pressure required to drive a turbo. In most cases you want an equal pressure on the intake and exhaust side of the head in order to keep it cooler and run more efficiently. If you run double the exhaust pressure to boost that often causes high cylinder temps and pressure causing head gasket failure
