Hi guys im thinking about going turbo, i have a stock 7afe motor, im currently running a 3 row all aluminum radiator and a big transmission oil cooler with an electric fan on it. I have a brand new torque converter inside the transmission. I got about 140k on the motor and tranny. i also have 440cc injectors (not installed), got a cheap aem piggy back (not installed). i will go have it dyno'd and tuned by a shop if i do get a turbo setup but im curious what 7afe stock motors can handle (my guess is not very much). i dont want to kill the motor just want to bump up the hp and tq as much as i can without going forged.

Just depends on the engine, internal components strength and compression etc... Most engines stock are good for around 6, some can do 10-12. Just depends.

I see thank you :-). im pretty scared of running up boost lol. I think if i have a good tune i will do no more than 14 psi. even that is pushing it. Its going to cost me $400 to get it tuned, i dont know if they dyno it while tuning i think they do, then again i never had it done so i dont know. i will start with the standard 7 psi then work my way up but wont exceed 14psi. Seems like a manual tranny wont take 14 psi without getting a stronger clutch, im running an auto :-(, i wonder how much it will take before slipping and such. hopefully 14 psi wont be too much for it.
