Higher than 9.5psi anyway on an xr6t.What was limiting your peak rpm power?? fuel??

They said the turbo had to come off for it to be fitted. My turbo had come loose and lost a bolt anyway so I killed 2 birds with one stone.

Lucky for me, or It would have eaten the Auto many moons ago!288rwkw around 3300rpm, its a nice ride on the street in my little ute though!
