.50 A/R turbo

How much boost could a 50 trim turbo put out safely in general? I'm boosting 10 psi right now but i'm pretty sure it could handle more than that.

If you're referring to T3/T04E 50 "trim" 49lbs/min turbochargers are capable of a maximum of 420whp on average regardless of Honda engine platform. psi is irrelevant

Re: .50 A/R turbo

A/R and trim are not the same thing. Also, as The Sohdan was getting at, the term "50 trim" could refer to an endless amount of turbos as its simply a calculation based on wheel sizes.

Garrett's website has a good explaination http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...o_tech102.html
