How much power with this setup?

Ok,

stock port motor
3 inch turbo back exhaust
intake filter and adaptor
3 inch TID
top mount intercooler
walboro 255 fuel pump, and it has been rewired.
rtek 1.7ecu
stage 3 6 puck clutch
550 primaries, and 720 secondaries.
Stock turbo with ported wastegate.

How much power about should I make to the wheels? I know noone can say for exactly how much, but guesstimate?
I know people will tell me, get front mount, get safc, get this and get that.. But I just want to know what I can do with JUST this setup?
estimate 0-60 time
1/4 mile?
any clues to what sort of times and number I could see with just this stuff.. thanks in advance guys.. bear with me, Im new to turbo world

depends on the series of motor
and how much boost you plan to run.

id say your safe boost limit due to the tmic and stock turbo is about 12psi.


so maybe 225.. the first time you floor it each day leaving your neiborhood.

then heat soak will set in and you will have ~210

The absolute max you can run on a stock turbo is 13 psi I hear. With the stock tmic your just moving hot air.

depends on your idea of saftey. some people want to go right to the edge.

9psi is safe... but people run 12psi. depends on your setup and all the details of your setup.

Well since he's running a rtek, its gotta be an s4.

forgot to mention, but reteds site has a nice article on power upgrades for the fc turbo, including using the stock turbo.

Stock turbo is about 14 PSI as the rule of thought (do to a weak center section).

At 10 PSI it starts to heatsoak.
