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. |

There is a law of diminishing returns - especially with the ct26. Each psi starts off at about 10whp on a properly intercooled set-up. By the time you get to 15psi, the incremental step of going to 16psi only adds a few more horsepower.
