You mean a Schwitzer turbo? Which one? There are more than a few of them.

Actually, don't answer that. Just go read the FAQ sticky. We can lead you to water every time you have a question, or we can just teach you were to find it for yourself.

Boost pressure is irrelevant. Set your goals in terms of horsepower, not PSI

The only time PSI matters is when choosing a MAP sensor - Do you have an upgraded MAP?

Then you're good to go. Have a power goal in mind and let your tuner decide when its time to shut it down.

If we knew a little more about the turbo you're using, we could give you a better idea. There are many turbos with the Schwitzer name on it - the one that comes to mind for me is the S256. If this is what you're running, it wont take 15psi to make 320whp....more like 8psi. Again, this is purely speculation...

Oh ok, the reason I can't tell which model turbo I have cause the number on the plate is missing, so I don't know wat model Switzer it is

Take the compressor and turbine housings off and measure the wheels.
