is 10lbs reliable?, garrett T3bb Options

[Kerr1]

ok im wrkin on a turbo kit 4 my freshly rebuilt 5sfe. heres a list of everything done to the motor:

bored .040 w/ topline pistons
arp head studs
soon to have arp rod bolts
cometic metal head gasket
everythin else if brand new but still stock..
new motor now has around 1000 miles on it

ive always heard a motor w/ arp head studs and rod bolts combined w/ a good head gasket can handle a lil more power and i was wondering since burien kits run a reliable 7lbs do u think w/ the right setup and proper tuning a 5sfe could be daily driven on 10lbs....

ne advice as appreciated thanx.

Buriens definition of reliable is a very loose term imo. Do you know anyone using their kit still?

Did some on here have it? I never knew...

no i was just reading abt. it.....im new to the whole turbo deal and want my motor to last at least 30-40,000 miles by then ill b able to buy a new one... i was just thinkin that since a stock motor is "supposed" to handle 7lbs...i asumed w/ the few minor parts that r supposed to make ur motor a lot stronger i could run 10lbs fairly reliable......the kit is not going on my car until i have all the parts to tune it the right way...

Again, 7lbs is different across turbos, and a motor isn't "supposed" to handle boost. Some do, some don't, even if they are the same type motor.
