What is your Turbo Boosting..

[jeffseby]

What psi are you running your turbo during race or strip application?

[sihondasracer]

well um..i dont have a turbo..itd be nice but hey ..so would a good paying job. if i had one itd be on a drag motor pushing over a bar..i can say that.

[darkaccord]

I know someone who runs 24 psi (not all the time) in an '03 WRX that makes over 300hp.

[edman24]

at 24psi he is only making over 300hp? shouldnt that be close if not over 400hp? i have a friend with a bmw 528 with a 3.2l M3 engine fully built and boosted to 28 psi on the street pushing over 550hp. he doesnt race it very often but when he does it goes up to 32psi! he hasnt dynoed it at 32psi yet. should be 600+hp. on 19" BBs LM wheels which are not light by any means and full interior he ran an 11.2 on the quarter. so ill put a vote in for him since i am not boosting

Have you heard of turbo sizing lately? A tiny-ass WRX turbo @ 24 PSI is moving a lot less air than something like a 60-1 is moving @ 24 PSI.

Personally, I have a safe tune for 1 bar daily on my honduh, and so far I don't have any need to go over that.

10psi now, but after the completely fortified block, 25+

Somehow I doubt that. He would have to have a full roll cage otherwise they would have kicked him out of the track. You have to have a roll cage if you in the 11s.

Anyhow; both of my GTCs run 13 PSI stock. On my project GTC I plan to run around 21 PSI max on new Garrett GT series turbo. I'll run around 13 PSI for daily use, maybe lower. The GTC will be a street project car. I don't plan to take it to the track very often.

I'm running 7-8 PSI now, I've had it up to 11 though. After I add my intercooler I'm going to run 12-14 PSI.

Damn all you people with your turbos Now I want one!

[ljrlude01]

was at 7 PSI on stock block, now I'm goign to swap and raise the boost for track purpose to about 25 PSI hopefully if everything goes well.

[edman24]

whether or not you believe me that is besides the point Polygon. he has been to the track only that one time. and im sure its because after that run they never let him back without roll cage and everything else.

also yes i know about turbo sizing but i didnt think anyone would be dumb enough to push a stock wrx turbo to 24 psi. i think that is really stupid.

AM RUNNING AT 8PSI AND IN THE FIRST STAGE OF BUILDING MY BOTTOM/TOP END. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT WHEN IT IS FINISH I CAN RUN UP THE MAX HP MY TURBO CAN GIV ME.THEN ALL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS TRACTION.

LOL, so get one! Looks like in your mod list you have your stock internals, go for it! With your current mods and boosting about 8 PSI you will do like 235 WHP give or take.
