    My arb twin compressor fills my tank to 150 psi. Is there a way to alter the pressure switch to stop at 200 psi? Is it even safe to do? Thanks.

    Doubtful any single stage compressor is capable of that output pressure.

    if you buy two twins maybe it’ll go to 300 psi :anonymous:

    Get a bigger tank or add a tank.
    Can you? Maybe but would probably burn it out or worse and something could fail.

    You'd need to get in it and add or replace spring I'd guess.

    The components would handle the pressure I'm sure, but don't know how much the motor may struggle or how many amps it'd try and pull. Heat may also become a real problem as the system already runs pretty hot.
