making boost but still making power? just finished my custom rear mount kit the other day and was out making some pulls in it, i have a 3.5-4psi wastegate on it, was gettin on it here and there in 1st and 2nd and i was making between 2-3psi it looked like on the guage with my wide band stayin around 11.6 give or take, now its a rather small turbo, but if im pushing 2-3psi into the engine am i still gunna be makin more power? car doesnt feel way faster or anything but yet havnt drivin it within a month since its been down till now, and its quieter, so cant really tell, was just wondering if this could be a factor, thanks

Does that limit this car to that hp lvl or less cause its a bigger v8? And is that why the turbos super loud? And why it takes long to spool? Thinkin of gettin a 76mm turbo soon, should I get it asap if I want to contuie were I'm at now then?

sorry for double post was on cell lol, and am i looking for a bigger AR more then anything then? if u guys have any recommended turbos feel free to post, not looking for any $600+ turbos but open to see whats out there, one i posted specs on above runs $325 new so lol
Mainly you need a bigger turbine(exhaust) side.
The compressor side could also be bigger to help out.
A/R plays a factor also.
I'd go for a MPT70, TC72, T76, in that order. The T76 will give you the most room to grow.

You can find used "big" turbos on DSM sites for sale fairly cheap. Big for those cars is usually in our sweet spot. I know I sold a super low mileage dual ball bearing 4088 for 700 bucks when I parted my Talon out.
