The stock turbo can't get close to maxxing out the stock engine. It can push maybe 29-30psi peak, but it won't sustain more than 22psi or so by redline. This is all basic information easily found all over this site.

So what kind of numbers are necessary to run a 11.0 @1_ _ in my IX?

and in terms of the stock turbo you can try and push whatever you want, but i believe that the efficiency drops way off after 25 psi or so...this would cause your turbo to really heat up and you will start to have turbo related problems. If you can find a compressor map for the stock turbo you can see exactly how much boost you can run. I looked at one a while back but cant remember where I found it.

Depends on your driving, but I would think you'd need at least 450whp (uncorrected Dynojet), which would be at least 125mph.

hmmm the motor has been tested to take a beating up to 550WHP with only headstuds being upgraded. The motor should not have had problems at 400whp.

af's were sweet...11.5...i am thinking that there was a weak spot on the #4 piston...egts never got any higher than 800c...when i pulled the head off you could see that the 3 good cylinders were perfect, no signs of any detonation anywhere...i have some pics i may try to upload them.

I don't come to the shop, and wouldn't anyways- too far. I'd MUCH rather drive an extra 1K miles to have a real shop like Vishnu, AMS, Buschur, or TurboTrix work on my car. They all have proven track records, slips, vids, charts, not to mention an awesome customer following.

Last I heard Myne's was blowing up a bunch of engines.
You don't come to our shop, so you don't know about us... You "heard" that we've been blowing up a bunch of engines, and you assume that's true? Would you mind backing that up with some facts? O yeah, i forgot... if someone says something bad about Mynes , then it must be "true"
