Default Recomendations on a DD Twin Turbo

So shes having thoughts on installing the Turbos now.....if ur wonder no they arent on the car yet......

Do u guys think this set up will be good for a DD Twins....she only drive 30 miles or so.

PETT-pushing 350whp
all stock PE parts
piggy back system-custom
Borla 2.5
running 6-7psi, we have boost controller to turn down to 3-4psi if needed
BOV
running very conservative for the most part.....


what do u guys think

uh, unless the wastegate springs are set to 3psi, you can't "turn down" the boost with a boost controller. Besides, running 3psi on two small twins would be essentially worthless.

with a good tune and a non-stock exhaust, that setup should make over 350whp with ease.

To be honest... i don't think your mom should be driving a Turbo Z... if she has a taste for more than 300 bhp .. she should look into getting a V8..

its best to stay with NA power than Turbo Power.... most women like linear power... they are not a fan of the whole spooling turbo.. power comes on in a flash...
