I have a custom Corvette rear end conversion, so I was going for the vette look with the rear pipes.

thats not going to do much since after 12 psi (double the intended wastegate diaphragm pressure...its just a rule of thumb, dont ask me where to quote it from...its just something i learned in school and through associates in the industry) since the boost will leak past the flapper valve eventually.

i dont know the specifics, but I do know that dyno dynamics are a load-based dyno, so the numbers are going to vary from car to car. dynojet's use a predetermined load setting, almost like a "perfect world" situation where weather/climate is equal (think correction factors in the software).

blah, i hope i'm not spitting out bad info.

I'm a bit confused in this calculation. We're working backwards with DynoJet estimates to actually see where 240 whp @ 14.5psi on DD would put me on a DynoJet. I don't see it working out to 240 whp on a DD. BTW....what is N/A?

normally aspirated (what you're making without the turbo)

i only used the dynojet numbers because they're more well known, and the guys who've posted in here about their own turbo kits (myself included) got their numbers from dynojets.

Thanks guys for the input! The car pulls pretty hard now, but just a bit curious on the numbers. It's good to know that I'm making the right power, and that there is nothing wrong with the car. I was a bit discouraged when I saw other people with the same kit putting more power out at 10 psi.

I notice you are going to get your BS in Mechanical Engineering soon. I got mines in 04' and now working at a medical device company in the R&D division.

Sold the gsr a long time ago. Went next to an ITR and am currently driving an s2000.

I just graduated from Penn State actually and am working for Emerson Electric
