well if its a T25, you cant crank the boost up... if you are seeing only 7-8 psi at the manifold, that means you could be running 10-11 psi at the turbo compressor discharge... if you crank it up so you see 10-11 at the manifold, you could be puttin out 13-14psi. at that pressure, your shizzle is gettin pretty hot...

what size turbo are you runnin anyways?

but yea, hes right, a big FMIC on a litle turbo is "like you trying to pressurize a cave by just blowing into it"..

what makes it so super? is it ball bearing?

on a 16g wheel, you can do very well at 14psi, but anything over that is puttin out more heat than its worth.

the Super turbos have a 10cm exhaust housing.

Really, I went from low 14s around 95-98mph at 15psi, to low 12s at 112-114mph at 25psi with my little 16g. I should have known then that it was not worth it.

Oh yeah and I ran it like that for 2 years and probably over 500 races. I got rid of it to get a bigger turbo, it was still in great shape.
