I've read some about this turbo and didn't really come to any conclusions. This is the turbo currently in the car i purchased, is it a "good turbo" what numbers can it put out and are there any other things i should know about it?

Cheers :Cheers:

Its a 50trim, a easily streetable 11 second turbo with supporting mods and tuning...

It will make the most power after 20psi where turbo's this large usually shine...

I believe it has a turbonetics compressor and a mitsubishi hotside....

I heard it spools pretty slowly but otherwise is good, would it be worth my time/money to swap it for a different turbo atm or should i wait until I'm ready for a whole new set up? Also what sort of psi would be alright on a stock block, 22?

Exactly...I would base boost mostly out of fuel supporting mods, not motor...

Altho (rippingsx will smack me) I recommend throwing on some ARP head studs and a multi layer headgasket if you plan on playing with boost pressures over 25psi often....

I would NOT put this turbo on unless you have supporting mods...It is not worth it to run a 50trim at 10psi...No fun....Look into 14b's or 16g's for a quick swap you can run at low boost and have fun
