im intalling my turbo engine into my vert. and the turbo that on it right now is ****. i have the option of either installing my old s4 turbo which only in fair condition. OR i have this turbonetics turbo that i bought for 200 which it like the ecuivalent to a stage 2 or so. ill take some pics of it when i get the chance. theres no reason that it shouldnt be in good shape. there is very little shaft play.alright so i am buying this turbo for 200 bucks BUT i have to have the engine in the car this week and i need to make a decision about what im going to do with the turbo. i have a 550/720 setup with a walbro 255 and an safc with some more. i want to go 720/1000 with an rtek 2.0 and a wideband. so what should i do? intall this turbonetics turbo and just not boost past like 5psi?? so my question is. is it safe for me to run this turbo till i install the 2.0 and the 1000cc injectors.

thanks

Sure - Just connect the waste gate actuator hose directly to the compressor to hold down boost until you're ready to tune it.

great! thanks so much! so it should be ok if i only boost a couple pounds?

okay, i got the turbo, its the knightsports hybrid turbo that uses turbonetics parts. i have been told that it makes 320whp? anyone run the 550/720 setup with this?
