·Ok here is another question for you guys.. maybe the same guy who replied to me earlier knows the answer to this as well..
ever since I got into turbo cars, all the books on turbo theory say "make sure your turbo is properly matched.. if too small you will overspeed it and kill it" makes sense..
BUT.. i do not know ONE SINGLE PERSON who has hurt a turbo by overspeeding it, running too much boost, whatever.. I know guys who run stock turbos way out of their efficiency range just because they can (like.. a front mount and an alky setup).. running something like 26+ psi on a stock 86/87 turbo (about 560cfm turbo.. its small.)
me, I run about 18psi on a 390cfm turbo in street trim.. @ the track im going to run over 20psi..
so how come supra guys kill turbos? thats all ive read the moment i came back to this site and started reading posts again.. guys killing turbos buy spinnin em too fast.. running too much boost.. what is with that? annnd.. does this apply to you guys running bb turbos too?
thanks guys
