Re: How Much Boost ?

well, on an engine not designed for boost, with factory rings and such, id push 5-6 psi for regular driving, and maybe 10 psi of boost for a single track pass. but keep in mind you are going to have to upgrade your fuel delivery for the increased fuel demands.

Re: How Much Boost ?

i think the 5psi is worth somewhere between 100-150hp, but dont quote me on that.

Re: How Much Boost ?

You will get a percentage increase with F.I's systems. We would need to know how much power your making now to know how much you would get and we would also need the specifications on the turbo your using.

Re: How Much Boost ?

No it's called having two jobs. i work almost everyweekend but i make about 300-400 cash, so add that ontop of my pay and i'm able to survive comfortably.

Re: How Much Boost ?

on the weekends i install countertops, I usually start working by 8am and i'm done by 2pm the latest, it's pretty good money. But i've only had like 3 days off this year so far, that kind of sucks though,
