What Hoonz is saying is right, you get a boost guage and a pyro and work out how much boost you can give it before it gets too hot in the manifold and engine temp, easiest way for you to work it out to suit your vehicle, that way you can run as much boost as your individual vehicle can handle.

pyrometer measures ur EGT (exhaust gas tempreture)
if this gets to hot u'll melt ur engine. u'll have to find out what is suitable for ur engine ...
u'll have to adjust fuel to suit boost .. to lean and u'll run hot and det ur engine

patrol diesels are good for 550max after turbo

Pyrometer....it has a small sensor that goes on the exhaust manifold and measures the temp as Hoonz said. Maybe you should seek some help with this, easy to fark up your motor if you're not on the ball with this stuff, I'd be too scared to mess with it personally.

STOP USING CAPITALs................................


Pyro measures exh temp. Can be infront or after turbo. May read up to 150c higher before.
Adding fuel Richer, will make it Hotter., not as stated before. (diesel)
