Default T3 .42/.48 efficiency??

Im currently running a stock d16z6 @ 7psi with a T3 .42/.48

This winter I am throwing in rods and pistons and Im wondering what kind of power I can pull out of this turbo? Max efficient psi?

in reality, it'd do fine up to about 300 whp.

i'll let you know.......looking to do 300 on mine within 3 weeks if the engine breakin goes well. doing about 200-215 on it right now at 8-9 psi (stock a6) made 185/155 on 6.5ish psi last year.

doing rods and pistons as we speak, waiting for the bearings to come it.

15-20psi depending on what condition it is in.Should be good for 250whp-275whp with the right setup.You'll have to see for yourself what it makes but like I told you already 250whp should not be a problem.

im shooting for 280whp with mine at 18-20 psi. but mine is only 300 miles old. So i would say that for one that is in good shape up to 20 psi. and around 275-300whp

I have one (from the factory) on my 88 Shelby Daytona. I made 270FWHP at 16psi in my 2.5L SOHC motor.
