what boost ?

[BOUSTED]

hi there,

with all these forced induction kits available for the VE , wondering what boost people are running and what horsepower/ kw they are making ?


Mostly interested in figures with standard bottom end , but.....


(superchargers and turbos )


thanks

crap im beginning to hate that search button, it seems most people with just bolt on turbos and chargers are running around 6-9psi, and ive heard power figures of anywhere between 340rwkw and 400rwkw on this sort of boost, but with higher 9 - 12psi boost it goes more like 370rwkw and 480rwkw this being a totally generalised response of course and the higher boosts would need a bit of extra work to make them reliable over a longer time :)

I hope this sorta helps at least

We are running generally anywhere 7-10psi on standard bottom end and are everyday drivers
