The official turbo build thread.

Yeah 650 isnt bad at all.

Looking at my graph, im making about 230-240whp at the 8psi mark but thats only at like 3500rpm, i bet youd get a little more than that. I think 250 is a good number to shoot for. Theoretically thats right on the money. I'm no expert though

I dynoed 260whp at 8psi with a nice exhaust leak pre turbo. An M50 should give you about 300whp at a good tune on 8psi.

Thats what i was thinking, didnt want to promise more than hed get!
