Default What are a Turbo's Limits
i am going to be putting a TD04 turbo from a 1g mitsu on my 95'Acura Integra LS. Now at the rate I want my turo to be spooling...compressing about 12lbs when racing, is that really straining the turbo? I am going to have proper oil cooling, and may even buy an oil cooler. Is that what I am going to have to do? Thanks

well with it being small and everything, will it like burn up on me? because i might be boosting that bitch to about 15-20lbs in the future...but now only about 8-12lbs. can the td04 handle that ----?

it will handle 8-12psi but im not sure if you'll reach your goal of 250-300hp with that turbo.

CFM matters more than psi.
