how much more power can you get from fine tuning?
im seeing people put out way more power than me after they got their turbo's tuned, and im wondering whats up. i had my hondata2b tuned on the dyno for a little over an hour by lawrence at dynospot (great tuner) and only made 210whp and 155lb of tq at 5psi. im seeing people put like 280-300whp alone on only 8psi w/ stock internals too. i know for sure 3 extra lbs of boost will not bring me up to 280+. am i doing something wrong?

ohhhh you will see a difference at 8-9 psi...then four more at 12 psi and so on and so forth...8psi will be safe but dont go overboard

at 5psi you're only starting to overcome the incredible restriction a turbocharger is on your engine. 210whp@5psi isn't too shabby.

you should boost 8 or 9 psi. you might get around 270whp. ask Lawrence!!!. he did my car( 4 door gsr with drag3 ). i got 280whp with 10psi with 9:1 compression. but not go more than 10psi!!!!! on stock piston.
