Which GT32?? There are a few variations of them so more info would really help. I know i ran an STC built GT3255b and made some pretty good power. If its a Shodan turbo, i'm sure you'll have no problem pushin past 400whp. I'd be worried about those stock B20 sleeves...

you are never going to find a straight answer. go to a dyno or look up other peoples builds.

PM TheShodan and see if he can give you an idea. He should have records of the dyno testing for that turbo

price, the GT32 is journal bearing.

and to answer the OP's question you should be able to max out the turbo with this setup

Who'd you get the turbo from? Your screen name doesn't seem familiar.

Not on the GT3251...you're looking around 450whp max.

No. This turbo's capability is no more than about 400whp maximum. If it is truly a GT3251, it will do only that. That turbo was not designed for top end power, only as a low rpm midrange power setup. Putting a "ramhorn" w/ that static compression will only create disappointment if it is truly a GT3251.

Limitations are limitations. Once a turbo reaches its peak there is nothing you can do but get a bigger turbo.

ugghhh....Im so sick of these "how much power will this make" threads....I wish people would just listen.....you design your setup around how much power you want to make, not the other way around

Nope...definitely not. The GT3251 is basically a trimmed down 57 trim. It was meant, as TheShodan stated, for quick spool and midrange power. I had another variant of it, the GT3255b, which is a little more geared toward the top end, but still a tad smaller than the 57trim. With the power it made on my setup at 10.5psi, i would have only guessed it to be capable of 435-445whp. Since your turbo is smaller, you will have a hard time breaking 415-425whp. What you need to do is snag a Borg Warner S256. That way you'll be set to make 500+whp. If you need more room, look into the S362.
