How much power is TOO much power for a DD all season EVO?
I have 330whp... and on the street, its pretty damn fast imo. Thats only like a low 12 second car...
but...
...as we all do, I feel the need for more power. I just bought a Buschur 3065 kit and im shooting for 420whp, which is around mid 11s. I think that will be MORE than enough for a street car. But I guess its kinda cool to think, that all i need to do is add some race gas, turn it up to 30lbs and have 500. :-D

I agree I love the power always. I daily drove with 500awhp for most of last year. but if you go with a bigger turbo, sometimes the power can come on to fast in the mid rpm range and in the snow, thats not always good for traction.

agreed. Thats what I drive currently, its a blast in all weather conditions. plus I still got the power to play a with a Porsche on the highway last weekend.

I would say its' what the driver feels comfortable with. You can have all the power in the world but if you shift before the turbo spools then you will still have moderate fuel economy and still only use about 150hp in that 4cyl engine. With my old setup with 480whp the car was fine in the snow. Although I do recommend a closed wastegate instead of open dump if you upgrade the turbo. Main draw back to that is 20-30whp.
Why not an open wastegate for a daily driver?
im pretty happy with like 360/360.. for the street i feel like any more would just get me in serious trouble. but im sure i'll get bored sooner or later and want more. 400whp sounds nice.
Because once the gate opens its way too noisy. Noise=Attention from police. Just my opinion and first hand experience. I was pulled over for an "illegal muffler", the cop didn't understand it was my wastegate when I tried explaining that one.

So if you have an open waste gate... it is a different part. If you had closed and wanted open you would have to buy the part and swap it? How much? and how much of a difference in power?
Also, what is the formula for 400 awhp on 91-93... for DD.
