I also ran that engine with a stock rebuilt TD pump and still saw way past the 15 psi on my gauge. I always get a grin when I look down and see it. Really need to get gauge that reads what I'm pushing.
I screwed the wastgate as close to closed as posable.
so they dont explode if you push over 25 psi with a K24? i got a good K24 sitting in my audi, spools to 25 psi on that motor and its extremely worn out.
I'm not able to post a sound file, but you can hear the noise that I'm having. I'll try later.
I do have to admit, the boost level that was on the video was higher than thought. I updated my gauge to a 40psi gauge from Banks, and I peg it out at about 44psi. No signs of head gasket leakage. Still no intercooler.
