i actually got so drunk once i was looking in a mirror and dancing with myself, thoroughly convinced i was the best looking person there. narcicism and excessive alcohol intake can be fun.

the amount of boost you plan to run dictates what your engine build needs to include. how many pounds do you plan on running? |

i want to run at least 10psi i think... but then again i don't exactly know, still just in the thinking stage right now. but i was told that 1 psi is roughly equal to 10 hp?

of course that number goes down as you increase boost, loss of power and such occur

you cannot calculate psi with horses,you can,but it depends on what turbo you have,PSI is compressed air,not the flow,a big turbo will spool more flow but could be too big for your engine,creates turbo lags!not an expert in it but i think it works like that

for you....yea probably. until you get everything built up and it runs good.....then you will get greedy and want more PSI. happens every time
