dont look at it as how much you can boost, but how is your fuel set up and how much can that support?

and your target horsepower/torque levels, or target 1/4 mile times (for you drag racers), or how much power your drivetrain / suspension will handle, or how reliable you want it to be. lots of variables, lots of perspectives.

most the time, the turbo will support way more boost and a built block will handle way more hp then u will ever make. the way to determine how much boost to run is figure out how much power its going to make and whether or not u have enough fuel to support that.


my turbo spools to 8psi at 3800rpm, non ball bearing from revhard kit. id imagine urs would be 500rpms quicker or so.

also most likely 15 psi(maybe18 or so) will be as high as you can go on pump gas

NICE! what compression pistons u running? generally on 9:1 pistons 15psi is the limit on 93 octane, so on 100 octane, id go for 20psi.

if you're not getting your head done you might to want to look into that with such high boosts....portflow titanium retainers and type r valve train. jmo (just my opinion)


Good luck and booooost away.
