I finally finished my turbo install. Took it for test drive and I gotta say my HKS SSQ sounds damn nice. hehe loud. psssshhh. But anyway, I have a T3 turbo and I get full boost around 3k RPM.

Now when im cruising on the highway Going about 70- 80mph. My RPM's are usually around 3k. I'm assumming I'm gonna get boost all the time since the turbo spools up around that range.

What do u guys do when your taking long road trips? I sure dont wanna be boosting all the way for a 6hr drive.

 

You won't be boosting as long as you're not hard on the throttle.

 

boost is dependent on exhaust flow, not on engine rpm

exactly, as long as you arent under a load cruising at 60 or 70 you wont boost.

 

interesting. thanks!

 

you actually want this, so if your traveling on the highway or etc you can actually get somewhat decent gas mileage

 

the turbo will spool with load , so you can have zero boost at 6000 rpm if you want .

exactly, its not equal to exhaust flow.

exhaust flow is only half the equation.

 

though even though the turbo will not be spooled it will be nice because for power all you have to do is roll your foot on the gas :-)
