Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Limits of turbo and exhaust?

[C.Solomon]

With my mods do you think I will harm the turbo? I can pull 38lbs of boost.

I still have stock 3. 5" exhaust and I was thinking of maybe 5".



I have seen dyno #'s of the same setup getting 370 hp and 850 trq at the wheels.



My egt's are not out of control but on 5x5 but I can hit 1400 pretty fast.

I have a 5" exhaust and love it. I havnt decided what digital tuner I want to use yet.



I only see 25psi max. (stock)

Stock exhaust is 3".



Going to a 4" would be a good choice. 5" is unecessary but does have a different tone.



38bs of boost on your stock turbo is not too bad. I would not spin more than that.
