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

13psi is not out of the turbo's efficiency range.. in fact 13 psi is right at the ct26's PEAK efficiency... just about every MR2 member on mr2oc.com that has a boost controller runs 15psi DAILY... because it is reliable... and proven to be. 17psi isn't even out of the question... but at this point you ARE dealing with efficiency issues (when a turbo can't spin any faster it is called choking). Point is the ct26 is more than the stock 5s can handle for sure... and it has a little faster spool up time than the t3... because it is meant for a 2.0L low end torque MONSTER!
