How much boost will a stock bottom end hold? - Page 5

The junkyard thing was just something I read about, not something I was set on or really planning. I like things that fit right and work like they are supposed to.

Realistically I would be happy with 400rwhp so that everything else will survive. I don't drive the car much and don't dog it when I do, but want that extra power.

Coupe, what turbo would you recommend? I mean specifically. I don't know turbos but have been reading a TON. Also what would you suggest for good reading to learn the right stuff?

For a real fun streetcar, I'd ditch the cam...go with something smaller...under 220º duration (like stock or even E-303). Turbo I would use for that is a straight T4 turbo. P-trim turbine wheel in a .68 A/R housing and a 60-1 compressor. 400-450 rwhp and it would respond almost instantly...

As for good reading...join www.theturboforums.com and look in FAQ, newbie forum, and turbo tech forum. All good info there. The search function works too.
