Malone Stage 3 Rail Pressure High

counter intuitively, larger turbo's (to a point) are safer for our engines and the drivetrain.

the smaller turbos, stuff gtd17XX size and smaller, are quite harmful to the rotating assembly, flywheel, clutch, and transmission.
this is because the torque curve is way way down low. "larger" turbo's like those in a 2XXX frame move the torque curve to 2k or a little north of there which generally stops any shuddering, or real damage from occuring

Very informative, I thank you.

Interesting, I was under the impression that the shuddering was from the torque exceeding the limits of the springs in the DMF.
