Ok, the ct-26 is cheap and decent. It's worthless after 8psi tho. The T3 is hear works well. But if you use that, you use lower boost levels righT? And T3/t4 would be overkill cuz u could probably get a t3 cheaper, right? Someone clue me in on what u think the ideal turby for 5s is and why.
With a T-series, would u need a new manifold or just flange? -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I disagree with this. There are legions of people running 14-15psi daily on the ct-26 with no dramatic increase in wear. Will it increase wear and shorten its life? Yes, but you are not going to all of sudden cook the turbo due to this type of use. I am also of the opinion that running it properly (proper start-up and cool down times) will do more for to insure long turbo life than anything else.
