thanks i appreciate it
yah well i live all the way in texas. do u wanna ship that?
450cc is not necesarry for a small mitsu turbo. the most i'd go is some RC 310cc injectors.
i already got the injectors for cheap so im gonna keep em
how u wanna do it then? payment wise?
I wouldnt say 450 is overkill, it all depends on what you hp goal is. It doesn't really matter if the turbo is small, you can run just as much boost as any other turbo (as much as the wastegate allows).
It just matters about what you want to do with the car...

the reason I say its overkill is that he's using a small Mitsubishi turbo. the efficiency of that turbo can only be pushed to no more than 15psi. what I mean is that at 15psi, its already trying to push so much air into a small turbo, when you can just get a different sized turbo and the same effects will be had with much lower boost.Tainted Ramen said:I wouldnt say 450 is overkill, it all depends on what you hp goal is.

you have to think of a turbo like a hose. it can only push so much depending on the size of the hose.. so when you have a small garden hose pushing at lets say 50psi versus a firemans hose that is pushing the same 50psi. the firemans hose can push out more volume of water. its the same with air and turbos.
So when someone comes up to you with a turbo civic pushing 18psi on a homemade mitsubishi turbo setup, versus one of our Precision PT67/ T4 turbo at also 18psi. Its possible that the difference on each setup is 200-300hp.
