power goals, i mean i just wanna have fun with it, you cant do too much here in cali cuz its real bad with cops since were an hour from Los Angeles and they pretty much have the same attitude towards imports as LA, closest track here is Famoso Speedway. But i would say 260-300whp
I would say that would do it as long as the turbo holds up. just saying.
i would guess someplace in 8-10psi range should get you in the ballpark of your goals. I havnt crunched the numbers, im lazy today...lol
if you want to learn what a garrett 60-1 turbo can do go to www.turbobygarrett.com there you can find out how to do the math for yourself and get a compressor map for a garret 60-1 turbo. this will be a good comparo.

Yea i am too, but my friend convinced me that its been holding up strong on his 200sx se-r and that its a reputable company. I was looking them up and their time attack 240sx placed 3rd or 4th place.
They say they have Garrett Internals so i mean its worth giving it a try. But thanks for the help man you were the supportive one lol

91 octane is fine. Its all we have in Cali unless you want to fork out $7+ a gallon for race fuel.
Sounds like a solid set up, IMO 60-1 takes too long to spool but does make great power on low boost and getting custom intercooler pipes to fit without cutting bumpers and shrouds and what not is a huge PITA.
I had a fully custom kit, and had to destroy my bumper, now i completely regret it, then i got a greddy kit and i STILL had to cut a little more, now i have a turbotoyotas kit and the piping is still funky....bleh...

^Yea ive never seen anything higher only at tracks...
low boost...how much boost you think it would make great power at?
Yea man i just want a ic kit that wont fit like ish on the bumper, i still wanna be able to keep apt fogs when i get some and keep a lower grill, we all know that in cali you cant show off your intercooler like other states lol. Where in cali are you?

I am in the San Diego area. My intercooler is smiling bright all day everyday. i dont even have my lower grill on
and i havent had any police problems. i would say 7-10lbs would be good for streetable use like most people run.
