Re: help on turbo selection
Your tuner is known for being very good at what he does.I must admit that the numbers and info you gave dont really make sense.Please give a little more info regarding your setup.I would think with that turbo and 20 pounds of boost it would have made a bit more power.

Re: help on turbo selection
between that turbo, the pressure and that ET my guess is really that it's making more than that power level
in other news. OP the 50trim is a great match for that engine. if you wanted a bit more top end with similar to slightly more power dump the .48ar for a .63

Re: help on turbo selection
lol. you should've just said your tuner was st00pid... he's effing awesome.
with your trap times it definitely sounds like the dyno. has to do with correction method, correction factor, etc i'm willing to bet.

Re: help on turbo selection
i was thinking i should stick to the 50T and I'm sure I'll be able to hit the 300whp marker with a few more pound of boost....my tuner is known to be one of the best tuners in Toronto so I'm sure he'll be able to get her up there.. idono if you guys herd of him (tony the tiger LMAO ) Dynamotorsports.. i haven't seen a lot of people hit 265 on a stock ls on only 8 psi..so it has to a lot to do with the magic he works...with the 50t don't you think its gonna choke up when i try to hit higher numbers like 340-390..???..s
p.s it took me 20 lbs on a stock ls with a garrett 57 trim .63 a/r to make 300 whp" holy snap.. bro how long did your motor last on 20 pounds i herd the max you should b hitting on stock is 14

Well, tony should be able to take care of it. We're very familiar with him here and his reputation is uncanny. So you should go for it, and let him decide what boost pressure you'll need to hit your goal. Speculation only brings disappointment, so just let the man do his work.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

Re: help on turbo selection
11.8 thats impressive.. verynice.. but still not understanding how your only at 318.... i thought you would b at at-least 380's nun the less very nice run. allot of the people down here hitting the 300's on like 11-15lbs so i cant wait to see what i pull out ...
