sooooooo I just got hired at a performance car parts shop for a second job during the summer.
therefore, I shall begin piecing together a boost! Chea I'm pretty stoked, but I'm a total noob on the topic. Since you guys have been talking about your engines for the last 10 pages, I figure you guys know a thing or two about this.
Basically, I want to be able to run internals as stock as possible, and I want something between 200 and and 250hp. The shop I'll be working at as of tomorrow will get me sweet discounts, and they have a dyno in the back.

I was leaning towards turbo, but I want to know what you guys think.

Yep, 3 years. Key to ebay turbos is oil pressure. They dont like oil pressure. I ran a restrictor with a .050 oriface. Never burned a drop of oil.

So I've been pegging the map lately, when gets cold I boost over 15 and get limp mode. So had to turn it down to about 11 psi. Going in next tues for 3 bar map and prob 17 psi+

Sorry for double post, off the phone now. Currently I have the 2 bar, It was tuned to 15 when it was warm back in march, so now when it gets colder, It pops over 15 and car not happy lol. And what did you suck into that turbo? or just wear and tear?
