im running a stock ls with one of the larger precision t3/t4 turboes. What would be recomended on how much psi i should run? i want to make as much power as possible but dont want to worry about blowing my motor apart. i know it will come down to the tuner but is there a general amount of boost that will be ideal for power/ and reliability? thanks

 

ive been told by freinds that i should run 12psi but i want to get my money's worth out of this setup until i build a different motor.

 

boost till you blow it then you know you went to far j/k...

I heard 14 pounds on a stock motor someone might want to confirm it but of course it comes down to the tune.

 

ive been told 10-14psi also but i want boost to hit like Mike Tyson after he finds out his prostitute was a man!!!

and still want my motor to stay in one peice

 

PSI doesn't mean ****....keep it in the low 300whp range at most and you'll be fine...

stop listening to your friends and do what you want to do. Dont go by a "psi" number, make enough power that your happy with, run the apropriate amount of timing along with the right octane rating and you will be fine.

the next time someone tells you that, just walk away. They are just bench racers that read this **** online but have no idea what it means

+1 Dont listen to people who tell you "you could push 12psi of boost but no more than 14psi of boost"

Those people are what we call "dumbasses" in the professional world. Most people that think they know stuff about cars and give you advice like that have just read one too many magazine articles or watched 2F2F too many times....

 

which turbo do you have exactly if so maybe i can find a map an tell you where the best CFM's occur an at what boost that's the important thing to know
