Agree with the above posts, my turbo gave up when I started pushing it to 30+. I played with the Map sensor line making it lose vaccuum by inserting a piece of brake line in it with a small hole drilled in it. She gave up after a couple of thousand miles pushing 30+
The Garrett BB 38R solved the problem as a replacement and has been giving me good service for the past 60,000 miles hitting 35+ lbs. regularly.

No dyno, I am a weasel!
I just know that the TS chip gave me more get up and go than the Bully dog / Van Aaken chip I had in earlier. I have the programmer/burner for both and have found that the TS software is what people want.
It's funny because I bought a new burner to do the TS tunes, the next truck in the shop needed a 75 hp tune and I could not get the TS burner to work with my PC.... So I took the Bully Dog / Van Aaken chip out of my Power stroke and burned it to fit this customers truck, I told him I would warranty the chip as if it were new. I was out of chips and made the decision to try the Kentucky hp method.
My customer recieved a VA tune of 75hp and called to thank me a week later, he loved the performance and the mielage was a big bonus!
I drove my powerstroke home from the shop, it sucked because it was stock as stock gets and I felt like a boy in a skirt on the football field. When I got home I used my new laptop with windows XP on it.... I tryed to see of the program fro TS would burn a chip. once I got the burner working I figured I gotta put something back in my truck..... and I hoped it would be as good as the off shelf Bully dog " Philip" tune that I wrote over when selling my chip to my customer. To my suprise, I was much happy with the "Fuel 7" progam that TS had furnished me........... simply put it ROCKS!
If you want a 7.3 PSD to run..... no question
