Twin Turbo Protege

That's about what the MSP's get with 6 psi

[95ProLeila]

yeah. . . that's about right, you could probably run 8 or 9 safely though

[jnorion]

8 or 9 on the MSP or 8 or 9 on a protege in general?

[95ProLeila]

8 or 9 in general, msp uses the same motor fs-something(det?). I know the BP is good for more than that, but I'm talkin about the 2.0 motors

[jnorion]

There are a number of people who have run 20+ and a guy over on the forums is working toward 32 right now... and plenty who run 12-15 daily. It's a strong engine

[McCorkle]

It all depends on what kind of turbo you are running. There is no way in hell my MP3 can handle 12-15 daily on a T3. It won't ever see over 7psi for daily driving.

[jnorion]

That's why I asked if he meant MSP or in general... although I'm not quite clear what the difference is. Why does the turbo type make a difference? I would think the internals would be more important.

Sorry I didn't even read any of the previous posts. I'm too lazy tonight. Alright my brain is turbo dead tonight. Can't put what I want to say into words. **** it, I'll edit this post in the morning to make sense.

[jnorion]

No problem

[McCorkle]

But look at it this way, 10psi on a T3 equals (now I am just guessing here to get my point across) around 15psi on a T25.

[jnorion]

See, you're already beginning to get over my head, I don't know a lot about different models of turbos and what differences there are. I can see I have some reading to do.

[McCorkle]

It blew me away when I started searching through all the different types of turbos. There are so many different sizes and then you have different housings and compressors and such. But a larger turbo will usually in most cases (leaving room for the possibility) produce more power than a smaller turbo. Thus it is obviously a bit harder on an engine.

[jnorion]

Google here I come

[McCorkle]

If you want an informative read about turbos go pick up Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. Most book stores have it, I got mine from Barnes and Noble.

[jnorion]

Yeah, I'm too poor for that right now. Once I am seriously on the road to a turbo I'll get a copy, but for now I'll hold off.
