They dynoed 7psi making 145 whp, 150 torque
Yeah...at 9psi Paul did a 15sec. flat so obviously 10psi will put him into the 14s but more driving practice will drop him into mids cuz I see him race all the time and it's just not all there

Hello,
Question : hmm 145whp with 7psi? what are they doing thats soo much better than other people 6-8 psi setups?
Answer :1. Properly sized turbo( maximum effeciency can be had in the factory rev range. Bigger is not always better)
2. Fueling done electronicaly not mechanicaly ( you can only push so much through the injector by upping the fuel pressure. Besides, Toyotas new fuel systems are clipped together with orings and plastic clamps. Too much fuel pressure could breach the system and cause a fire. Proper engine control with proper injectors will provide enough fuel for a given application without raising the fuel pressure).
Hope this helps.
