max boost with pettit hybrid turbos?
I recently picked up a '94 rx7. The motor was rebuilt and street ported by Atkins. At the same time a pair of Pettit hybrid turbos were also installed. The previous owner removed the boost pills from the wastegate lines as he was using this setup in conjunction with a Power FC.
Now the car is running a stock ECU, the pettit turbos are running just off the wastegates so they boost something like 7-5-7 pattern. What is the MAX boost I could run with this setup? My only other mods are downpipe and apexi N1 exhaust.

10 psi at the intake manifold is10 psi.
Q of air is a function of press, density, and crosssection area. the intake is a fixed cross section, p= 10psi in both case, and density will be the same if the air is the same temp..
Now if the big turbo is more efficent it may have not heated the air as much, thus increasing its density and thus mass of air; but I wouldn't expect the density to be too different. The bigger gain such come from say 12 psi at turbo is needed to create 10 at intake rather than say 14 to get 10.
