Each engine is different. My engine was a 440 with 8.7:1 compression, Eddy heads, and a turbo specific cam. No intercooler was used.
I had no problems running 12 psi on pump gas. If it wasn't extremely hot outside I could run 17 psi but normally shot some rubbing alcohol in the intake to cool it down.
My turbos are hybrids too. T4 60-1 compressors and T3 Stage III turbines with Stage III wheels. Those are perfect for street engines but the turbine outlets will prevent big boost levels. They're simply too small to get lots of exhaust out.
If I was making more of a drag/street car I'd use T4 P-trim turbines.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
