how much boost for T3 before blowing hot air
 

how efficient are these turbos...i have a straight t3 .48/.63 and i was wondering how much boost these can handle before they start to get out of their effeciency range...im looking to turn it up to 17-18 psi from the 14-15 im running now. i seen the turbo go up to 24 psi so i know its not near its max boost point.

a 60 trim t3 is good to around 300hp... its a question of how much flow its needed to support, not psi... you could prolly do 30+psi on that turbo if you were using it on somthing ungodly small, if you could get it to spool up, but wont flow nearly enough to support 500hp
