If you’re willing to do E85 you can run 14 psi and I’ve seen people get 500+ with that setup. As Southerncyclone said, there are more expensive setups that could get you 500+ easy.

Hey! So a lot of us are running the turbos from the F-150 3.5L EcoBoost due to the ease of install since the engine blocks are so similar. The Garrett part number for the F-150 turbos is GT1549L. There’s not a lot of info online about specifics for the turbo, but stock on the F-150 it spools to...

All parts listed are in excellent condition (if not a little dirty) and I am only selling them because I have upgraded them with performance parts. I have listed prices, but I am willing to field all offers. Don’t worry about lowballing. Resonator (not pictured) - $50 Left/right mufflers - $75...

Thought I'd share my setup! Please note that the wastegates have been adjusted to not build boost so quickly. Flowmaster X-pipe, Accelatec mufflers, 2013 F-150 EcoBoost turbos, and stock cats:

I feel like a fool for not connecting the cats with the pressure issue. But thanks for the info on the kit! Will be getting one ASAP

That is awesome to know. I didn’t even consider that but it makes total sense. Thank you.

Nope, still got the stock cats. Cut and welded the bends to match up with the turbos. My buddy is wanting me to delete the cats though, lol. Thanks for the advice about the water/methanol kit. Any recommended brands?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to keep this updated. Life has been crazy. My daughter (first kid!) was born in February so life has been a whirlwind since then, especially with this whole pandemic situation. I wanted to post some pics of the build process, so here we go: So with all turbo projects...

Hey! Just seeing this. I bought them from Procharger over the phone. Can’t buy them online as they only come as a part of different kits they offer, but they were more than happy to charge me for them individually when I called.

So I fixed the leak and am still making too much boost. For now I am taking the boost controller completely out of the equation. I can pressurize the whole system and the needle on the MityVac holds steady no matter what pressure it’s at. The boost at WOT in 3rd gear gets as high as 12 psi...

No I did exactly that. I ran a line from the compressor, then split the line to each turbo. Still had overboost, but this was before I found the leak. Been at work all day so I haven’t had a chance to see if fixing the leak fixed the overboost.

Patrick is correct

Should’ve checked this first but didn’t think to. I unhooked the line from the compressor housing and attached the MityVac there. Pumped up to 10 psi and sure enough the needle is dropping very very slowly and there’s a faint hiss from the plastic t-piece. If I play with this lines around the...

Ok, I did that and still having overboost issues. So what you’re saying is that the TurboSmart wastegate actuators will operate differently than the stock actuators, despite both of them being set to 3psi?

Sorry, meant to include that in my post. I did just that. Ran a line from the compressor housing directly to the plastic t-piece and still had the same issue. Making 12 lbs at WOT at about 3k RPM. I’ll buy the TurboSmart wastegate actuators, but I’m just so confused as to why they will be any...

I’m just confused. If the stock wastegates are set to 3psi, how is changing to the TurboSmart ones any different? Is there something special about the TurboSmart ones that open faster/wider? I did see that Kody used the EBC, but even an EBC can’t set the boost lower than wastegate pressure.

Ok guys... I’m at a complete loss. Got a MityVac that does pressure and set both wastegates at 3 psi crack pressure. I made sure there were no obstructions or kinks in any of the lines. I am STILL making way too much boost. WOT in 3rd gear I’m getting 12-13 lbs at about 3k RPM. My current...

Any idea if the TurboSmart wastegates fit on the 2013 turbos? Everywhere I’m seeing says they only fit on 2011-12 F-150s.

I will try this on my lunch break today. Thanks for that. I knew you could remove it, didn’t realize it adds 5-7 psi

Yes, I’m using the stock wastegates. Adjusting the nuts definitely had an effect on the boost pressure. MPT and Tom from Super Six were the ones who suggested adjusting the nuts. Prior to adjustment I was making 14 psi at about 2.5k RPM. After adjustment I haven’t made 14 until about 4-5k.
