Wow, this last week really has been a big influx of these users/questions. I wonder what's dragging them in.

PSI is borderline irrelevant without knowing what turbo it's being applied to.

The powers that be must think the 6 of us on here are getting bored so they paid for some search engine ranking to get us new users. And also faceballs/meta is imploding and losing users faster than an 850hp del sol.

Perfect for a stock B20B engine... actually not.
If you want to daily drive this engine, I suggest you forget about a turbocharger all together.
