OK heres the deal I have a d15b7 and a garret gt2052 lying around and thought that I could successfully get maybe 5 psi out of it? I have a cx manifold and a 1g DSM BOV, too. My main concern is the rods. Think they would hold 5psi?

The gt2052 turbo intake side AR is .51, exhaust is .49. Any ideas on how much psi I can get out of it? It has an internal wastegate, but I don't know the psi on it. any way i can check that? thanks in advance

 

one more question, my turbo didn't come with the internal wastegate stock. I'm not sure where it came from but the turbo doesnt have a vacuum fitting for the wastegate. What side of the intake do I hook it up on? inlet or outlet? thanks

 

They will hold 5psi, I did it for a few months before getting a great deal on the crower rods. Putting the fitting on the outlet side so it can read the boost.

 

they will hold strong to 7 or 8psi. its the ring lands you have to worrie about.
