rev issue

do you need a waste gate on a 3.4 diesel turbo, as motor can't rev above 2200 rpm, put more fuel in and still no more revs,timing is right , can turbo choke exhaust gases and cause this prolbem,garrett turbo size is a t3 exhaust and 45 a/r, it starts to spoil up to 4 psi and then no more revs.

what you are trying to do is very risky, i would not recomend it for street use, you need to make sure that the wheel is running true when finished allways and that you can weld very good. it can be done, you grind out inner rim where the welds are, make sure you don't go to far as to damage the out...

you will need a holley blue or black pump to feed the swirl pot, then a hp pump to feed the v8 injection system.
but the intank system is the alot more hassil, need to 2 hp pumps
