stage 1 turbo on f22?????

well you would be buying at least a 5 year old turbo thats been used and most likely abused. a lot of people that have stock turbos dont know what the hell it is. they just know it makes their car faster. they dont maintain them. they dont do anything. a lot of them are blown. they just dont flow as much as a T3/T4 will. i'm not sure how the 16g compares to a T3/T4 in size but i'm pretty sure a 16g is about the size of the T25 or T28 which doesnt flow very much and will make power at the low end but not have a lot of top end power. i have a T3/T4 on my Accord and i beat stock/minor modified Eclipse/Talon turbos. i think they run 12lbs stock. my friend was running 16 lbs on his GST and i beat him. i've sat side by side with a VW 1.8T running 20 lbs up to 90 and we stopped. and i'm running 5 lbs on my 4dr Accord. and on an Accord you shouldnt run more than 10 lbs at the most. people have done it but theyre playing with fire. so if you put 10 lbs on a T28 turbo i would be suprised if you would make 200 hp. while with a T3/T4 and 10 lbs you will make around 230

i have the FMAX kit and i love it. i had 2 friends with DRAG kits and both of them blew their motors

you can run 10 lbs on stock internals. theres a guy running 13 lbs on here and making 253hp to the wheels on stock internals. but just remember each lb is putting more stress on your motor. each motor can handle different amounts of boost. my friend blew his motor running 8 lbs. some people run theirs at 12 lbs and its fine. it all depends on how well its tuned really. another friend was running 22 lbs on a stock B16A. he ran a 12.2 with stock internals. but he also had it tuned very good. and he blew his motor 3 times but he had money so he didnt care. he had a collection of blown internals in his room. pistons, rings, rods, valves, cracked block. it all depends on what you feel it safe. i'm running 5 lbs now. i'm gonna run 10 lbs soon but thats all i feel the motor can handle. its like playing with fire. you start with a small match and youre fine. so you get 10 matches. youre still fine. so you get a big stick and light it and it burns your whole house down. you should have stopped with 10 matches. you have to know where to stop. i cant tell you exactly how much your motor can handle. i would start at 6 or 7. if its fine. go to 9 or 10. if its still fine go to 11. just keep raising it until you wanna stop and hope you dont blow it. theres some boost controllers that you can have 2 settings. high and low boost. set it for 6 lbs for everyday driving and to race set it at 9-15 lbs
