My Mighty Max has a stock engine rebuild minus balance shafts. I'm reasonably sure it has the 12Aturbo, as well. However, it builds boost beginning about 2500 rpm. Despite that, the boost stays less than 4 psi until about 3500 rpm, then goes to the 10 psi wastegate quickly. The gent who assembled my truck as his project of love said the truck liked to operate in the 5000 rpm area, which I feel no need to subject the engine to for many periods of time.

My truck presently is without an intercooler, uses the stock precat after the turbo, and has 2 1/2" exhaust pipe and Magnaflow muffler.

I need to replace the head gasket, install my 'new' "Mitsubishi" valve cover from PowerRam50, clean up the engine bay and get rid of the yucky yellow failure paint the PO liked, refit the AC belt tensioner, and find a wide low-profile IC that fits behind the aluminum skid plate under the bumper...then return this truck to DD status.
