I had a question, ive been watching and listenting to all the tuners talk about the power increase per psi on their turbo'd cars...but how many hp's does the 3sgte make per pound of boost? i know its somewhere on here but i cant find it. someone told me for every psi its like 5 hp? different people tell me different things but then again, they dont have the almighty 3SGTE!
and if the stock 3sgte is 225hp at stock boost with a fmic, how much boost can you turn it up to safely? (lagos, tweak anybody?) just doing research....im a question machine... sorry about the retread but im computer illiterate and didnt know how to get to move it since nobody was answering elsewhere... --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money. That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |

I've heard 5, and I've heard 7. So, I take the avg. of 6.
The 2nd gen is 221hp (225ps) with a TMIC - FMIC will probably raise the HP slightly so maybe in the end you'll end up with 225hp. Safely with a FMIC you can probaby get away with up to 15 but people have blown engines on less pressure, so its basically a "at your own risk" kinda thing. I have my car at 12 right now I am planning on going 13 or 14 and I'm using an ST185RC intercooler so I think I'll feel decently safe around there. The CT26 runs out of steam in the 15psi area.
