another post about turbo selection.

how much power do you want to make? The GT40 with a decent exhaust housing can support 500whp at or over 20psi.

i am going to control it about 15 psi-ish, but i don't want to run out of steam in the top end. when you push a turbo too hard, you are just blowing hot air into the engine. like i said, i just want to build once and be done. i don't want to keep building over and over.

Again, how much power do you want to make? The stock turbo will make 250-260whp at 15psi, a GT35 will do 400whp at 15psi...........I don't care about pressure
