G Unit Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 waste of money matei built a near perfect EG6 turbo running the DRAG gen3 kit from the states it was soo good and made good power 240bhp last rr , however seems alot of £££ to put out to run at 7psi on a FMU ect. if your going boost get it done proper forge the engine and get a decent turbo setup ie full race, peak boost AMS ect the all are top notch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicturbo79 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 As most people on here know i have done loads of turbo stuff on mb's . a standard engine will take 10 psi all day long . if you were to run 7-8 psi it would last for ever and you would make around the 260 bhp mark . Have a word with craigb on here he is in the middle of turboing his to run 7 psi im sure he will let you know witch is the best way to do it ,as will i ,if turboing is the way you want to go.

G Unit Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 yes very true richbut i cant say this enough the car or turbo build is only as good as the mapping so dont go cheap on the mapping and you will have a belter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
