How to get more appreciable gains from stock turbo?
Thx for all the responses. I wanted to get whatever i needed to get the most reliable hp on the stock block(430-450awhp). I daily drive the car and will never launch it. I know once i hit that i won't spend anymore money because i would want to build the engine. Any other ideas welcome
tuned by turbo trix back in june. The atp is looking better and better,maybe even a slightly used one? I like the stock looking idea...manifold would def. negate that. Want to get the most i can for the money since i guess i am passed the easy hp days.

Sorry for off topic but that link to the dyno chart in your signature is worthless IMO. i absolutely hate it when they show speed at the bottom not RPM, and plus im either blind or there isnt a torque line either.
ill add a little to the topic, the stock intercooler will be good to a little over 400whp, its been done. and with good piping nothing bigger will spool faster. so the stock intercooler is KEY.
ye i would love to keep the stock ic and do as much as i can around it. Its not worth it to me unless the ebay or xs power really is that great.Back to back testing would do it for many.

I dont have an RPM graph, but overall the run was done in 3rd gear, but I think the graph gives a good overall idea of what the powerband looks like

Just because it can be done does not mean that there isnt something better. I gained ~10whp by just adding an IC on the stock turbo.
