is it useful to put redline up to 7k? is it very hard on the motor? what kinda success have u guys running 7k redline on stock turbo having?

 

from what i understand, the stock turbo runs out of breath after about 5,000-5,500 rpm's as most dyno graphs show hp just dives after that point. But i dont know if some tuning could make use of it.

 

Like the other guy said, the turbo looses power at that high an rpm. I Changed mine to 7k because i was sick of hitting the rev limiter in first. Also so i can make it down the quarter mile without shifting to 4th. But I try to shift at around 5800 that seems to be the sweet spot for my set up.

 

5000 - 5000 rpm eh?? lol u mean 5-6 right?

ya i put mine up to 6500 i usually shift at around 6

 

fixed

 

The advantage of the 7k redline is to hit the traps at the top of 3rd and save the 3-4 shift if you are close. 17-18 psi is all you are going to get up that high tuned on the stock turbo depending on flow mods.
