I could not get more than 25-26psi out of my stock 9 turbo

 

Something is wrong with your setup then. I ran 26-27psi on 91 for 5 years. It only let go because my oil pump went.

 

im sure he ment safely on pump gas, im sure the turbo would make more boost

 

ha yea safe is good. I currently run 24psi without any problems and was thinking about turning it up a bit but now i think i probably shouldn't

 

yeah lets just keep turning these *****es up! blowing hot air from over clocking small turbos?... over rated! ....

 

Yeah, and make sure you have some money put away in savings and a spare car to drive...

Moar POWAH!!!! I like how insane even 20 psi sounds to me... I'm doing 16 right now and that's 3 psi over stock. Hooray for bigger motor smaller turbo! If only I had money for exhaust/intake, E85, and port/polish of everything by Fairclough... This puppy would be insane.

 

anyone know Brad with the white 8 or 9 from west jordan? is he on here?

 

I am hoping to run about 21psi on the stock 8 turbo and then 25psi on E85 for now till Tax Return or when I have the extra coin to send my blown 9 off to FP for some special treatment I would love to see 350whp on my car with E85 and a small turbo

My old Setup was 24-26psi 91oct on a GT35R turbo and that was just fine right there. We took it up to 27-28psi and thats probably where the limit was for pump gas on that setup. I left it alone at the lower setting for safety.

Only Brad I can think of in that area use to have a Blue Evo 8 or 9 I think and he parted it out I think and Sold it. Been over a year tho since I have last heard anything from him.

I think it might be the same guy, he had a blue one that he was building and last i heard he built a white one with a 6262.

 

Go big or go home

I understand this isn't the correct thread to post this in, but I'm in a bit of an emergency. I was pulling my rear struts today and one of the rear strut shaft threads was stripped. I was able to get the nut off, however, the strut is completely useless. Does anyone have stock (KYB) rear struts they want to sell me? I'm really only looking for one, but I'd be willing to buy a pair if necessary. Thanks!

Edit: Found some, thanks mountainturbo!

 

Replied to your PM.

 

So.... any place to get some cheap 18" rims and snow tires? Or would it be Ok to just run snow tires and swap out the summer tires I currently have on? That just sounds like a pain

I wish 17s would fit, but I don't think they'll clear my front brakes anymore... d'oh!

The tires I have on now are officially HORRIBLE in cold/wet. If it's just raining it's ok, but puddles on the road are terrifying, I've never hydroplaned so bad, and any slush/snow the tires track like crazy. I can't imagine what it will be like when we really hit winter.

 

Stay safe out in that snow. Just drove home and curbed the gold volks on mine, woops.
