Finding Turbo Limits
Kind of a generic question, but, what sort of data would one keep an eye on to indicate a turbo out of steam?
I have a old PT76gts and currently run ~15psi on a 383ci gen 2 LT1.
I would like to see how far I can push it and was just getting information before I do something dumb. Plan is just to add air and not touch timing. (its fairly lazy, combined with a fat 10.5afr in PE)

Haven't bought one in a Looooong while, but there was a LED tach gadget you could buy from big diesel suppliers that went on the cold side and measured the speed of the wheel, all you had to do was tell it how many blades and install it per the directions.. Was pretty simple. They had them on some generators I used to "own" as part of a building I took care of..
