There is no set boost level. A lot depends on your set up, tuning, intercooler, timing, and fuel system. I would probably not recommend running a turbo off a powerstroke on a LS1 it might work but a diesel turbo is not made with the same application in mind. As for a twin turbo Talon that is probably not a good set up for a LS1 since your talking about a large engine that moves a lot of air even a T25 or a 16G that would be a mid size single turbo set up on a 4G63 would be way to small on a LS1.
