Why should anyone upgrade turbos?

Ok obviously he isnt running 34 psi on 93 octane. We all know this. So why are you trying to argue with him.
nrcooled. The stock turbo with your 2.3 liter will run out of steam short of your 7500 rpm redline. If you want to keep stock like spool, maybe buschur's 20g is your answer. Other then that Ted B has your answer.

then you are actually flowing more air at 20 than stock.

All I got to say is, yes that power can be seen with that set-up running C16 OR meth, alky injection mixture b.s. however you want to say it w/ pump, but on pump alone.......... monkeys would fly out if my a$$ first !!!

As usual this entire thread has been side-tracked.
I, for one, would like to hear more opinions on stock turbo vs. upgraded turbo. Especially considering how much power the IX seems to be making on its stock snail.
