Maybe once we upgrade the block. These stock block get hairy with anything more then 8psi. Rod Bolts will let loose... trust me.

What does that have to do with a holset?

A block doesn't break at a certain psi. It breaks at a certain psi with a certain turbo.

8 psi on a 48/60ish T3 is not the same as 8 psi on an HX35.

its all about how much air a turbo can flow.

Its also about how much power the motor can hold. How many RPM's it can turn. You gotta remember were looking at maybe a 4500-5000rpm redline. Im assuming 8psi on a Holset will make a ton more power then a T3 because it flows so much more?
