what engine, d15b7 right?? i think a decent sized turbo at 8 psi would add more h.p. than that, just shoot for 10 psi and prolly put like 180 to the ground.

Again I think there's too many variables, like condition of engine, mangement, turbo size, your setup, etc, that could give you different numbers, but if you want a ballpark figure, look at most of the guys here running d-series setups. They get anywhere from 170-200 hp to the wheels. So the least you might get I would think should be around 175@8psi.

You can't just throw numbers out there without all the details of the setup (the size of the turbo for one). 10 psi on a small IHI turbo isn't the same as 10 psi on a big T4 turbo. Just tune your car well and boost 8 psi... you will be fine.

if his car natural asp is around 98-100 hp. I dont think hell be at 175-200whp with his car. I think hell be up to 190 hp and around 160-170 whp with his del sol. Just guessing here beacause with my y8 i'll be around 190-200 whp if im running 10 psi

Yep that's why I said again that there are too many variables. But you are right 160-170 sounds reasonable, but again, we can't really give you a specific number, as far as your original question, you will be fine @8psi.
