turbo88...you really need to take your meds and then go back and educate yourself some more.

The point that folks are trying to get across, and either they aren't doing very well or you just can't read is the fact that the STOCK turbos on the TCs/SVOs etc are only efficient to a certain boost level, after that you are just heating the air.  For the IHI's it's about 18# and the (Garrett)T3's is about 22#.  There are other turbos which are designed to be more efficient at higher boost levels.  No one ever said that the cars in your Jack Rousch example were running "stock" turbos.....

You have to decide what your goals are for the car and plan the entire package around that, including the turbo choice.  You obviously still haven't spent alot of time researching yet, or you'd know that the SSAutochrome headers are marginal at best.  yeah they're pretty, but they are pr0ne to crack and SSAutochrome's customer service sucks...period. As for the rest of the parts on that site, if those are Garrett turbos, then they should be pretty good, but again a turbo needs to be matched to your application/set-up.

.not to mention most of your cars are junkers and for the 88turbo guy..he was choked when he saw that my car looks much nicer then his, as you can see how hasn't said a word...
  Maybe he hasn't replied because he's to busy laughing *shrug*.  All I saw was a blue 87-88TC with chrome Cobra R's...4-lug none-the-less.  *yawn*  Yeah it was clean, but you can get over yourself.  My car is nicer than yours....as are SEVERAL others on this site.  However, if you want to try and make yourself seem "special" by putting downs other people's cars, go ahead if it makes your pee-pee feel bigger.

.what do you know Jack Roush in the 80's run 2.3 pinto's with twin turbo's at 35 psi so i guess they must have been "uneeficent" to.....



ok  35 psi split by 2 == 17.5 psi for each turbo wich is right in the efficancy level for a stock t-3 or ihi

Which one I only own 6 cars which one? Plus I never clamed to be fast I just know a little more than you and have done my homework and been around a few turbo cars enough to know what the hell is going on and how to make it run.

So unless you have a time slip showing that theing in the 12 to 13 sec range don't talk any smack becasue there is always someone faster. And they usualy are driving a Viper.

my 88 is my daily its got rims and a few other mods nothing  special but still i think it looks cool..the only point i was trying to get trew was that i understood that the stock turbo will not do much better then 18-19 psi, by that time there is to much wear and tear on the parts and you can drastically decrese the life of your engine...but we have to keep repeating this over and over and over...really lets give it a rest.. my shelby is a nice carcar i take to the track  it hauls ass and there aint a lot of them around...

Maybe you should go over to turboford.org and do a search on SSautochrome.  Everything you read WILL be bad.  They did a group buy on their turbos and every turbo(all, every single one) failed within a few hundred miles or even before it was installed.
