How far have you guys pushed your stock turbo (EVO or DSM)?
Just yesterday I took my car out and took it for a drive to see how well it was running. I never got above 3/4 throttle and never went balls out. Even with the new 2.5in IC setup, spool is amazingly fast for the little 14B. I hadn't had a chance to bolt up the new exhaust since I ran out of sawzall blades (I have to cut off the old downpipe bracket) so it was on the car, just not bolted up. First gear yielded 10psi around 3500rpm, Second came quick with 15psi around 4000, and Third.... Third was too fast to count. Third came with 23psi around 4500 rpm by total accident. At that same moment I went over a small hill and heard a CLUNK! I thought for sure it was the sound of a turbo inhaling itself. Limped it back home being very careful, I pull it into the garage and take a look. Thank God! the clunk sound was confirmed by the same flat spot in my downpipe. Just by chance I had gone over the hill at the same time I hit the 23lbs and heard the downpipe scrape the ground. Downpipe and turbo are fine and I should be out driving it today, Woohoo! Now it's time to get that manual boost controller fixed. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"
