it really depends. basically you get more power from our cars with a turbo cuz we got higher compression, but we cant run high boost. with 8 psi you should be faster then a GS-t from a stop and a GSX from a roll
 
i saw this turbo on ebay
You must be logged in to view this image or video.

and it said "THIS TURBO CAN EASILY DO 20+ psi
Standard T3 ~ T3/T4 Flange, 4 Hole Exhaust Flange"

is that good?....ty

like he said our cars have lots of potential but really to run high boost you will have to replace your inturnals :p with stock inturnals your only gonna be able to run around 8 psi :p hrc turbo systems are the best ;) one day ill have one :p :thumb:
aliczander :talon: .... oh, and that turbo that you showed, your gonna have to buy alot more crap for it, myself im just gonna buy a complet kit that way i dont have to worrie about anything :D
 
That turbo is pretty. Buy a HRC kit of a STAR kit. I got the STAR and love it. 20psi is insane on stock internals. No more than 10psi on stock motor, and thats pushing it. I run 8-9psi and its FAST. I'm faster than a stock GST or GSX, I just need to get to a track.
