Re:merkur XR4Ti
I had one along time ago, Me and beau pinched the wastegate line, It was probably peaking 20+ psi, lol
They are strong bottom ends, with a long stroke. (compressor is very friendly) The turbos themselves are one of the largest factory t3's

Re:merkur XR4Ti
well, I own a 87 xr4ti that I ran 20psi non-intercooled on it and it did fine. Right now it is in the middle of a rebuild so that I can run up to 30psi on it. The 2.3 is a very strong engine and will forgive most mistakes. With what I have being done, highs 12s will be possible. I don't want to push it too much, becuase I still have the stock rear end. They are not full out great drag cars because of the IRS, but they make kick *** road racing cars.
