Seems way too cheap for the rebuilt motor. Seals and bearings alone are over a grand.

TO answer your question..

IM assuming u have the stock turbo on a streetported block. With ALL Supporting mods.

Id say u can make 260-300 on that turbo.(depends on tuner)

So its stock turbo yes??

None of the pictures show anything turbo related.

If so, he must've had BIG plan with the injector combo. You pretty well won't even need those 1600's on the stocker

Most I've personally witnessed on a stock turbo FC was 250whp/250(ish)ft/lbs on a mustang dyno......so somewhere in there.

Also as Rich mentioned it can't have RX-8 apex seals.

I agree. Get yourself a big turbo setup, that's pretty much all it's lacking to make real numbers. That and some aux injection, or race fuel, and a tune.

If you ask me, this entire thread doesnt have a point. If you want to know how much power it'll make, put it on a dyno.

Well seeing as you haven't answered the single most important question asked regarding YOUR question, it doesn't surprise me. Let me lend a hand from someone with less and a gazillion posts. Riddle me this batman :

What turbo is your car running?
A:stock (big cast brick manifold/internal wastegate/small hardline on compressor cover/3 bolt downpipe)
B:Hybrid (big cast brick manifold/internal wastegate/maybe markings on compressor such as series or manufacturer [60-1, T04B, Turbonetics etc.]/ 3 bolt downpipe)
C:Aftermarket (cast or tubular but defined runners/MOST likely external wastegate/4 bolt or v-band downpipe)
D:Phone a friend to come take a look.

Hope this helps

(if I'm off at all, by all means correct me)
