Just curious if anyone has any HP numbers that they can post running the PTE 57-trim DBB turbo.
After getting one myself, I hadn't really had a chance to get to the dyno before developing some serious rod-knock. I was running 24-25 psi, but never felt like I had it tuned perfectly. It did pull VERY strong at times in cold weather, but I'm wondering what real-world numbers people are seeing with this turbo.
Once my rebuild is complete and the new clutch and everything is broken-in, I do plan to head to the dyno myself. Eventually I would like to see 500 hp, so if I need to upgrade to a better pump-gas turbo next year, then so be it.
Thanks.
