How much power am I making?
Guess me up nogs.
M50tu engine, 55# injectors, 3" straight through exhuast, 3" IC piping, something like a 12x24x3 IC, Holset internally gated WH1c turbo at ~20psi.
Think I should keep it down in the teens for DD boost, or just let it eat up at the ~20+psi it rips to on the wastegate?
Stock engine with 120k, 10.5:1 compression, Russian tune in progress
I figure if I keep it in the 12.0's in high boost and eventually add a little water and a thicker HG I'll be fine but I want it to at least survive the summer as is. This freakin think builds 10+psi before 4k in first and then just keeps freightraining I have not taken it to redline at WOT yet lol because my widebands own me.
I am going to go for 500whp with a different turbo and a rebuilt stock engine over the school year, unless I get there with what I have now. But until christmas this car is going to see another ~20k+ of DD action and I need to keep it together. I hope I am under 400whp as it sits... I dunno. :1

Re: How much power am I making?
I am just curious if people think its +- 400 approx since its an unusual turbo in an unusual application. It will be tuned to make mexipower. 
This is not like a showboating thing, I really am curious as to what a good flowing engine will be pushing with this hoe-lset at ~20#

Re: How much power am I making?
I made 558 at 17 psi on a stock 2JZ with HKS272 cams, lifting at 7K due to stock bucket/shim valvetrain crap. They are wierd engines, look at intake vs exhaust valves sometime.
You should break 400 in the early to mid teens unless something is terribly wrong.
