Maybe its a bit overpriced for a used turbo?

So let me see if ive got this right.. its possible to install the turbo without getting new pistons or thicker head gasket and it will be safe for up to 8 psi? about how much more hp would i get doing that?

Im having a hard time to understand everything. the schools in sweden doesnt teach you this type of english smile.gif just casual english is pretty easy but this terminology is really hard. but im learning smile.gif

thanx for taking youre time explaining for me. i appreciate it very much.

That questio is very hard to answer.

You do not need to do anything with the engine with and up to 6-8psi.

I would say keep it safe with 6psi.

Experience with 4AGE 20v silver tops w/ turbo running 6psi gets you close to 200hp @ the wheels. At 8 psi, over 200hp, but only use in racing.

I do know of peaople driving everyday on 8psi and race with 12. But reliability at 12 in particular is questionable sine these guys were running stock injectors with fuel psi high to still get a decent A/f ratio

With your 3sge w/ 210 @ the flywheel, you maybe in the range of 230 -240. A dyno can really help you out here.

The problem is, will you be running lean. You may have to look @ upgrading to some 550cc injectors to be save.

All that I can tell you, take it in small steps. Play it save with 5-6psi and check how the engine wears. Example, oil levels, engine temperature, exhaust fumes.

I will have some details for you in about a couple of month if my collegue here changes his 20v silver top to a 3SGTE or 3SGE + T, depending on engine availability
