I was taking into the account that it's an Automatic. I was being conservative. A manual on 8.7 PSI would be over 250whp.

 

*watching

 

Guys thanks for all the info. Could you guys tell me what the best controller is? What is the best brand? Where should I get it from?
Thanks,
Chris

 

the only MBC i have experience with is a turbochargers.com one , not sure who makes them but it didnt cause any boost spike which can be common in MBC's, its only like 45 bucks.

 

I run the Turbo XS one. It spikes, but only one PSI over what I have it set to.

 

Is this the one you got rozz-tc?

That and Eclipses run faster times than that stock. The GSX runs a 14.7-14.9 with a T25. The GSX can run 12s with good fuel delivery on a 16G.

For the poster...

I would drop a level on the wastegate spring. That might be too much for the auto to take. Try staying around 6-7 if you want it reliable. And definitely use a tranny cooler.

 

Just saw the end of this thread...

I would STRONLY suggest running an electronic boost controller. They're much more reliable and more safe, provided they're set up correctly. I like the Blitz SBC Spec-S, AEM Tru Boost, and HKS units. For a little bit more, you can run the Apexi AVCR which works well as a monitor for other devices as well.

 

Ok joe thanks for the info. Since now I got the expert chiming in on this post heres another question for you Joe. Do you think that later down the road if I do put 9PSI to the tubo will the tranny be able to handle it if I upgrade the valve body and a tranny cooler?

 

I'd say it's possible. The valve body upgrade will be huge. Even on 5psi I say run a tranny cooler, so I don't think you should ever run without one.

What driving habbits will the car be seeing? Track use, auto-x, drag, street, etc?

 

yes it is, we ran up to 14psi with it and no spikes. good simple MBC thats still cheap

 

The driving habbits that the car will see will just be on the street doing the usal daily driving. As far as drag mabey down the strip a couple of times but thats about it.

Thanks rozz-Tc for the great info!!

 

Yeah, still sad for a turboed car from the factory. 14.8 was our tC's best time with only an exhaust.
