^^^ x2

400hp would be about your max, but you will get no where near that with that turbo. Search, learn, READ THE FAQ's. There is soo much info in the faq's, you would be amazed. GL.

by nothing do you mean fuel management as well? if you arent running any fuel management on your car please go end yourself and give me your car before you break it

im goin to be running dsm injectors along with a vafc for alittle till i save up and get a better fuel management unit . i dont really want to run any higher than 7psi on my stock internal b16 . by the way what are nissan t25 turbo wastegates set at ?

like some of the others said. its more about how much hp you are making not how much psi, even though they are related. 10 psi on a t25 wil make less power than 10spsi on something big like a gt40r. so i would shoot for about 300whp to be safe. (many have gone higher)

and as far as the vafc goes, that is probably the worst way to manage your fuel system, especially for boost. i would suggest not even wasting your money on it and just buy a chipped ecu and use one of the more affordable ems software. hit up the archives for more info

I wouldn't use a t25 on a b16.

It will die out in the higher RPMs and just be blowing hot air

i actually picked up that turbo and a intercooler from a friend for $85 . well i know this turbo is small but i want to get as much out of it as i can with still being safe internally . as for the VAFC , i already have one hooked up at the moment.
