How much HP is it making? what brand turbo?

I've yet to dyno it, but i'm guesstimating ~420 RWHP in it's current setup. I'm running an avg. of 5 psi, with a peak of 7 psi at the top of 1st and 2nd gear. I'm only running 35lb injectors at the moment, and have no wideband installed so it's tuned very rich. The only reason I even raced it was because this was the last race of the year before the track closes till March.

By then, I plan on running 15 psi and have all the necessary gauges and supporting hardware installed.

Here's a video:


Still a slug, but not too bad for such low boost and rich AFR, in a granny car! lol.

The turbo is an On3Performance 76MM Journal bearing. For a cheap turbo it seems to work good, however I plan on swapping out to a better one end of next year if this one makes it that long. It's a little small on the exhaust side for this combo.
