Default t-76 turbo tech gains????

i REALLY want Reckless' turbo setup. so i'm just wondering what kind of gains can be expected for a kit like this with a stock motor. just with lower boost obviously cause of the stock bottom end. 4-5psi safe for stock bottom end? what is the most i could run given that i have sufficient fuel? i'm 12.6 n/a right now with just the convertor, lid, and exhaust. thanks for any help.

I have the same kit and with 5.5 psi ran 12.1 with a m6. Now I was 13.3 N/A and I'm running pig rich but havent gotten to a dyno yet. You should be well into the 11s and I dont how much more. With an A4 stalling at the line and building boost....his kit would ROCK!

Like Jerry said, "Rock and Roll!" I ran the stock botto end up to 8psi on 30lb injectors and race gas with no issues. I also ran 11.8 with only 7psi and a crapped tranny <img src="images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Just buy the kit already <img src="images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0">
