Vosko on this forum is making 459rwhp at 15psi, on that turbo.

So its definitely a monster.
Its considered very laggy, though. But then again, that is subjective...

459 is a bit high for 15 psi, im not saying vosko is lying , Im saying "dont expect 459. Vosko, if you see this post(im sure you will) what was you timing set at,afr's??? Also is your t-78 "stock" or does it have a upgraded wheel??
459 are very nice numbers for that turbo. I think I made 425@15psi

Fuel Mgmnt

With the T78 did you guys upgrade to the 1600cc secondary injectors with and upgraded fuel rail? I am running a power FC currently.

correct, you really dont need to upgrade the primaries unless you will be runing **** loads of boost(25+ psi)
Upgrade you fuel pump also(I saw guy with a turbo buick at the track 2 days ago and he blew his motor because he didnt upgrade the fuel pump).

Just an FYI, vosko posted his dyno sheets over at the forum i guess we arent supposed to talk about here.. you know, the better forum.

So he is making those numbers, and from my understanding its a stock t78

that all depends on driving style. this is not going to be the same for each car all the time. while just cruising, your secondary injectors are not on anyway, but when you get into boost... they BETTER come on and you better have enough fuel. my last tank of gas i got 213 miles before i refueled. did not get on it a lot durring those miles (traffic and ****) and that would be about 11MPG.... it could get better than that also, just needs some tuning.
