8v92 turbo pressure

[Jeff Miller]

John:

Boost comes from a lot more than the turbo, it can even be your gauge
readings. What max. temp are you running on the EGT/Pyrometer?

Boost comes from the exhaust heat/flow spinning the turbines, yada
yada, but if you don't have enough fuel there won't be as much power
and boost, same thing with less air, engine tune, timing, ...

Start with the simple stuff, look at the air filter. Check the intake
stack and screen, the air filter and housing, exhaust pipe, your fuel
filters, and throttle travel/pressure. Sometimes a wire-tie will make
a good teltail to show how far the throttle is moving as it will
slide the wire-tie down as it moves, could be low air-pressure to
your throttle or a simple adjustment. Also make sure that your
emergency shutoff flap is fully open, the cable housing can burn and
then the cable can't properly open/close the shutoff flap so check it
manually from the rear.

If all else fails, perhaps a trip to the chassis dyno at your
neighborhood DD stealership will tell whether the engine is due for a
tune.
