what rpm do you fully boost at..and how many pounds are you boosting..just want to know cause i doing 10psi and fully boosting at 3500rpm to 4000rpm..is that normal.....

sounds normal to me. spool up time is also greatly effected by the size of your downpipe and exhaust, the size of the intercooler and piping length. so not everyone will always have the turbo spool at the same place

thanks lagos what are you fully boosting at..and how is the downpipe treating you and your new set up...

the new downpipe is great. a big difference from the stock one. i have the boost set at around 14psi. the rest of my exhaust is dented up, so the turbo can lag a bit.

i was boosted at 10psi.... note the word WAS..

i cracked a piston yesterday so its now time for a rebuild...

any ideas anyone..????????????/ >>

WOW bro how long did you run your 5sfte..it been about a year now..man sorry for you lost but yeah im boost stock 10psi..man well ill talk to dg about the head..i wnat it badly so i could just be different...

i have been running it with boost now for a little over a year...
i just had the turbo hi flowed and a massiff front mount put on only 3 weeks ago.....

im looking for some forged pistons but am not having much luck here in australia....everyone i speek to has to import them fron the U.S and then the price rockets upwards big time....

if anyone can help me in the search for more power (not a 3sgte swop)
it would all be good......

Runnin-low......good luck with your project...

hey bro i could help you out on looking for piston and all and if you want i think piston and stuff is cheap to send.from person to person i could just send the stuff to you i think that would be cheaper....

bro that would be wicked......illl find out some more info on what compression i need.....eg 8.5-1
