The lift pump is cheap enough, it might be worth a try just swapping it out. You still have the stock style diaphragm lift pump, right?

Either way, the 3 of us need fuel pressure gauges.....immediately.
I decided to go with option 3 from my previous post. I found a new genuine Cummins pump on ebay for a good price and placed the order. Tracking shows it will be here on Friday but I'm not counting on it with Santa disrupting flight patterns this week. I also ordered a replacement spring to reduce the pressure of the piston lift pump from the hungry diesel and tracking shows it will also show up on Friday. I chose the 15psi spring since I've got big injectors (for a VE pumped 4bt anyways) from here: http://thehungrydiesel.com/Low-Pressure-Lift-Pump-Spring-Low-Pressure-Lift-Pump-Spring.htm
The engine starts great it doesn't struggle, there's no "extra" oil on the dipstick, but the truck has been parked for the time being.
What intercooler are you running? The stock one from the P30? Will it hold the new PSI goal?
... for mild 200 hp that is my goal too.
maybe a dumb question...but what is gained in running a dual turbo setup on a street/offroad 4wd?... I know or realize a dual turbo can put out more power..but really whats the advantage of a dual turbo setup vs a single? Is it more of a best of both worlds...spreads the power across the rpm range better? or maximizes the available power .. Just wondering, as it applies to the 4wd world?

Was wondering about the complexity of the plumbing and setup too...value added?
Not throwing rocks..just wondering. I realize that many folks do things for the fun factor etc..or to see what can be explored. Just wondering if the dual turbo setup opens up another world of power...that can be tailored toward bottom end power (torque).
