Default Anyone Know Who Makes Small 4psi Turbo's?

I was wondering if you can get small turbo's that don't require turbo-timers? Stock turbo charged cars don't have turbo-timers do they???

I don't think you even know what a turbo timer is. You really should do some reading before you think of boosting.

BWAHAHHA.....they make these little fans that u put in ur intake tubing, they spin off ur battery, and are like an electric supercharger......you should get one of those.....

@ 4 PSI ur gonna see very little gains.....and yes, theoreticaly u could get a teenie *** turbo and run it on incredibly low boost.....but whats the point......

FYI: when turboing, u dont worry about a turbo timer, u worry about ur engine exploding............turbo timers keep the car runiing for a set amoung of time when u turn the car off, to let the turbo cool off

any turbo in the world can run 4 psi. 4 psi is **** though you woulnt feel anthing from that. turbo timers are made to allow oil to cool down in the turbo so it doent bake itself onto the turbo bearings. all turbos should have a turbo timer but it is not necassary its more of a preference on how long you want your turbo to last. if you are only planning on running 4lbs dont even bother turboing your car. running with the big dogs takes big boost i run 9 psi every day on my car and even at the i think 9 is weak boost 15 is good but under 7 pounds not worth the money.
