PSI?, BOOST question Options

[easternpiro1]

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...

here is one that claims to be a bone stock 5th gen with the top mount intercooler and no special mods



now here is one that is at 15psi, with a full 3in exhaust and a fmic.
Max WHP: 233@ 5700rpm
Max Torque: 221@ 5400rpm



youll get results somwhere within that ballpark, and basically have a car that is around 225-260hp at the crank (if u want to compare it to hondas or other cars being sold). then if you get hungry for more power, your only 600-800$ away from a ct20b or ct27 turbo upgrade, that will take you to the next level without any other mods.
