How much boost can I run with this turbo?
I just put my Vitara z6 in my car and I am breaking it in N/A. I wanted to save up some money and buy a bigger turbo than what I have now.
This is what I have, Saab .42/.48 paid $50 from the junkyard.
This is the set up, but now its a Vitara Z6.
How much boost can I run on this turbo for now? I won't have the $$$ for a bigger turbo for a few monthes and would like to put my set up back on my car.
Z6
vitaras
tt rods
and the turbo set up posted
2.5 bar moto map
440 injectors
2.5 exhaust
What do you think?

Go in and enter all your info. I ran it and you have to play with the engins ve but it looks like you are hitting the top of the t3 50trim map at about 7000rpms, and 18lbs. It just will get you in the ball park anyway.

id run 15psi and check your datalogs for how much hotter than ambient temps your running if heat skyrockets bring it down some but 15 should be good my buddy was runing 17 on his built gsr with one of those didnt like the 8k limit to much though.

i ran one of these turbos on a hmt setup with 440cc on a stock z6 tuned on crome at 10psi. it made about 190hp at 6000rpm on the 4th pull on the dyno while it was being tuned . AND THEN my valve seals went out and oil poured into the turbo from the bad seals (smoke everywhere) .. but tried makeing a hmt boost controller one time and hit over 15psi more then a few times while adjusting it to 10psi... hope this helps some
