    For a standard turbo the generally accepted safe maximum is 14psi. As long as you keep your EGT's in check (don't wind the fuel up too far, or better - have it tuned by a professional diesel tuner) it won't harm your engine.

    Question

    I was only looking at running 13psi and
    I was talking to the place we send all our
    Injector pumps to from work
    And he said turn the fuel up 1/8th
    Of a turn and 1/4 would b the max
    Just keep a eye on the smoke she blows
    Would this be correct has anyone played with
    The fuel on there truck.
