Faisal,
Congrats on your 11.9 pass in Phoenix, that is moving...
Without further explanation I would directly recommend you to have your turbo balanced.
With turbos running above 180000rpms your naked eye is simply not enough to Ok the install. I sold my Stealth R/T TT to a friend who did the same thing, purchased the rebuilt kit but only lasted a few days.
I know you from being a very very mechanically inclined guy, I give you all the credit in the world because I know you are the type of guy like me but when it comes to turbo stuff I definately will leave it to the professionals that used professional benches to balance the turbo and calibrate them.
As far as runing them to 31psi, I peaked 30-31psi in a few ocasions on my Evo 9 on race gas but the real test was done on the dynos. There isn't much power left above 28psi to be worth the extra heat and stress.
Take care and by the way, How is that catback that I sold you treating you?

thank you carlos, but the car definatley has more in it. that night, i ran with a leaky smc pump and was getting only 70psi of slow building pressure. after i got the new pump, the car felt much much stronger. And now with the NLS and the front LSD, i cant wait to get back to the track.
But i am stubborn. now, i have a spare evo 8 turbo ready to be torn apart for parts!!!
Carlos, i kid you not when i say, every time i hit the gas and hear the exhaust note, the thought "thank you carlos" always comes to mind.
yes... easily with meth.... dyno and track to back it up.... i was breaking up in 4th so i had to let off but the 1/8 mile at 96 is very impressive =-)
done with the mods in my sig

Mr. Elhais i think i have a solution for ur problem, evo 9 turbos should be able to withstand such psi ratings, however, when assembling them u would need to stay 5 feet away from the engine bay, spin around 3 times (clockwise) and 2 counterclockwise. this usually takes care of the balancing issue.
