I mean, it's all good, if you're comparing apples and apples. You don't want the guy going and getting, for instance, a T series or Thumper, and boosting 10 psi. It's not the same. Just like getting a straight T04E series, or T3 isn't the same......

You can't just generically say "10 psi".....

A T3 Super 60 will run it at 16-17, be in its efficiency, and produce the same power, probably more safely, with little or no risk of surge if you crank it up a bit.....

This is what I'm trying to get across. Remember, its not just you and the thread starter reading this, with an understanding that it's a T3/T04E 57 trim turbo. It's a bunch of people, who will try a lot of different stuff, and come out with a LOT different results, including blown motors at less psi, and far lower power levels at the same psi....
Why are you preaching to us like we are the idiots?

We know this, we aren't stupid. The reason that I had a 50 trim on my B16 was because I wanted to turn up the boost when I got my bottom end forged.
