Turbo psi/hp ratio, 5sfte questions Options

[urbandork]

First off let me say i have searched and gathered lots of info but i still have some questions as sometimes the truth was confusing.

First off what’s the highest psi I can run on a stock 5sfe. My engine has been rebuilt to an extent. Rings and a new crank as well as other tide bits. Would i need to build up my engine even for lower end psi numbers and if so what would i need to beef up?

What HP numbers would I be looking at if i run 5psi 8psi and so on?

The car would be a daily driver what would be a good boost and what would i get hp wise.

i have figured that with a N/A set up with CAI header and exhaust id be getting maybe 20 more hp so around 150. (CA stock is 130). I’ve been wondering if its worth the trouble to go turbo or if i should just stick with N/A.

thanks in advanced

i DEFINTLY wouldnt go with the T3...its gonna be working REAL hard @ 8-12lbs ...your gonna choke it on the top end, and to get power outta it, your gonna have to run higher boost. higher boost on the 3s is ok...on the 5s its BAD
with the smaller your turbo,intake charge is gonna be a good deal hotter also.
if you ask me, a really good choice for the 5s would be a T3/To4E 46trim...
the plot on that map starts off decent at 7psi and just gets better and better as you up the boost, all the way up to and past 15psi
IMO you want somthing thats gonna give you decent spool and still allow you to meet your power goals at the LOWEST boost level possible.
