well i cant quote any figures, since the highest recorded dyno was 523rwhp at 7.5 psi... i am just assuming its higher since the air flow to the intercooler is much better in this cool weather and i have been running higher than 7.5psi boost.

As for the longevity, Ive got to say that if it holds up for me, I cant imagine how it would break for anyone else. I say that for a few reasons. For one, I have a serious problem. I have a hard time not constantly flooring it everywhere I go. I have a hard time not giving it a run with any car that wants to. I cant go more than a few minutes at a time without at least giving it half throttle away from a light (half is enough to wag the tail around 1st and 2nd). I really just boost it, a LOT.

Most guys I know are much easier on their cars. One close look at my car and you can see its been through it, and driven hard.

I would never, say, ROAD RACE the car at this power level on a stock engine, I do not think the engine would make it more than a few laps (but maybe im wrong, maybe it would never break). But I wouldnt hesitate to run the boost at like 4psi and road race it.

Another reason is, I still have a LOT of tuning to do on the car. While it runs and drives really well, I would never have given a customer back their car how it currently sits. There is way too much refinement to put into the tune. I think the car will only get smoother and more powerful from doing so, but its already good enough that I am being lazy about it since its my own car.

Since my highest actual dyno number so far is 523rwhp at 7.5psi... I will say that I would have no reservations what so ever running the car at 525rwhp turbocharged. Definitely well within the safe-zone there.
