it doesnt feel too sweet right now, im having to rebuild the engine and drop it in right now. it sucks, im getting damn withdrawals from not driving my turbo car
but yeah the last setup felt pretty sweet, it was a b7/y8 on 9psi, 10.8:1 compression. it got up and went, but spun a rod bearing after the oil pickup tube vibrated loose. sux.
my first engine, which was a turbo d15b7, died from overboosting. bent the rod in half.
i think this will be a little safer, about 9.8:1 instead of 10.8:1, so i might consider upping the boost a lil once i get it all tuned out on the wideband.
