turbo upgrade help Options

[2slow2nervous]

what turbo is the best choics in upgrading from the ct26 on a 2nd gen 3sgte? Looking to do and need some info on doing so.

so try 14psi next. trust me, the ct26 has a lot more to give you then what your getting right now.

lagos.......arent you running like 16-17 psi with the water injection? Im sure if he got WI and cranked it up to 16 it would keep most content for a while. mine pulls nicely at 12psi

yeah... thats why im saying that the ct26 has a lot more to give him. he made about 180hp on the dyno at around 8psi iirc... and my car is at 247hp270tq at 16psi with WI... so that just goes to show how much more power you can gain without buying a new turbo.

dont get me wrong tho .. the ct26 is limited, but it should be more then enough to keep someone happy for a lot longer then a month after their swap.

well, its good to know that 8 psi is around 180 hp. and 16 psi is about 240 hp. I went to the track and ran 8 psi and only ran a 15.0 1/4 mile . I wasnt too proud of this. Thats why I ordered the ebc, the mbc wouldnt stay consistant so I turned it down. plus the synchros in this trans suck! Im going to try some synchromesh and keep my fingers crossed.
