the psi you can run depends on the tuning and size of the turbo. 15psi on a 18g turbo and 15psi on a gt35 are totally different ball games.

for the millionth time over, psi means nothing without knowing the size of the turbo. GT25, t3/t04, 14b, 18g are all types of turbos, they dont mention the size of it.

im not possitive about the stock block of the z6 but am pretty sure its around 225hp on a good tune. the a6 im sure is similar

on a .63 ar t3/t04 turbo youre looking around 6psi, on a .43 ar t3/t04 your looking around 8-9psi

meh that seems high on stock bottom. from what ive seen, the d series caps at about 205whp. BUT, 205 whp on a civic is STILL some giggles ;)

really? ive seen a couple of people push 230hp on a stock block on honda-tech and hmt so i figured it was safe to say 225hp. i didnt think the d block was that weak...

it really comes down to what you have to offer as a tuner/builder. have you seen that sohc with stock sleeves pushing above 450 horspower? it blew my mind.

i take it back. the more i think about it, the more i realize how impressive those numbers are.

ill agree that 225/230 is attainable. but NOT reachable by most people.
