Re: Backyard Cummins

I want to run my boost at the upper end of the safe range for stock headgaskets. Hopefully maxing out right around 35PSI. I don't plan on even messing with boost settings or piping until I have this thing on the road.

What problems have you had with your connections? I have a few un-flared ends in my piping system, as I needed to cut lengths in the field for mockup purposes. I plan on replacing these, but would prefer to only do it once. Im thinking I eliminate as many connectors as possible with pre bent tubing, and maybe upgrade to some thicker duty boots.

Also, this engine vibrates like no other during low RPM, startup, and stop. How many nuts and bolts have you lost due to the harmonics of the cummins?
