Damn, I just looked at your profile, and noticed its putting down 264 at 5lbs

Mine put down 248 at 10lbs. Then again i only have a small polish, and a full 3' exhaust.

All that is need to be done is an intercooler/ ignition/upgraded pulleys/boost controller. Everything else was already on the car. (including the fuel)

as for boost probably no more than 15psi

Intercooler is a must! Pulleys and ignition it's not all that necessary. You can make good amount of power on stock coils. What computer are you running? Power FC, Microtech, Haltech? Did you get the entire Greddy kit? With manifold, wastegate, and downpipe? What spring is the wastegate?

How much power do you want to make? Cause a T78 isn't very efficient until you crank up the boost. You'd probably make just as much power at 15psi, as some people out there make with 60-1s 62-1s. I'm shooting for 400 with my new slightly better turbo

i think he has a PFC. i agree if you are only going to run 15 lbs. you should go with something smaller. I have a TD06 in my car, i love it, spools up really quick. as far as a wastegate, i suggest you use a HKS standard, if you haven't already bought one. if you go HKS i believe you have to use the yellow spring for your desired boost levels but you can check out their site to confirm

the only reason why i was only boosting that low is because of the intercooler i have. Until i get a reasonable enough IC im not going to risk it. The T78 came with everything (was practically new) and for $2100 you cant go wrong with that. mods in my sig; the only thing that didnt come with it was the instructions, HENCE why i was asking for help to put this in the car. & BTW i frogot about the wideband that i need to get as well

My ecu is a power FC & dont know about the wastegate spring.

IMO the whole reason y i got the turbo is to get into the 10s or less in the Qmile

rey i thought you already had a single turbo in the car?
