P.S. Since there's is no warrenty with the turbo's I'm staying away from high PSI untill I get to the track
...you can see why I might be thrown off (from highboostforum.com)



And yea, I'd say 30psi is dandy on a DD. Much more and you really start pushing the reliability limits of almost any turbo on the market. I've DD'd my BBK for a year @30psi, and my IX turbo@30psi for a year before that w/o any turbo failures. These big wheel turbos produce insane loads on the bearings, and running 40+psi is exponentially higher than 30.

I ran around for about 1 1/2 year's at 40+ psi the result a long list of dead turbo's that got the abuse

I'm running 30-32.5psi to save my pocket from broken turbo's, but I don't know how long that's going to last before I'm back at 40+ psi
