Default Max Hp w/GT42/74

well Am putting the S88 away for now and stepping back to a GT42 74 mm for now because i want it to spool a little faster for now (need my converter re-stalled) also i am getting alot of surging @ low boost (11psi and lower) and 12 psi and 2600lbs on the street is too much with the S88. so i have a brand new Gt42 74mm with 1.15 ex that will bolt up for now till i can get a custom 80mm built.. how many have gone over 650RWHP with a turbo like this? i will prob run a max of 18-22 psi just looking for some real data with a gt42 turbo..

Yes, instaspool for sure. Problem is back pressure will be HIGH if you plan to try to push it. Check to make sure you don't start pushing water.
