remember over spinning the turbo is bad.'

u will have to check out and calculate it on your turbo map to find out.

if its a stock block....8200-8500 thats just what i would do since im a ----- and i would rather run a tenth of a second slower and not have to replace my motor because i blew it up. sometimes you are better safe than sorry

agreed if its a small t3 theres no point you run out of power and efficiency. id rather short shift in the meat of the turbo efficiency range

i wouldn't rev higher than the factory rev limit unless you have upgraded valvetrain. you have a rev limiter for a reason ;)

Yeah I agree, just shift right before the factory rev-limit.

Or just shift right before the turbo dies out
