I honestly have no idea man. I would assume you could just run it as is without any harm, you'd have to check to make sure your valves - both on the head and the WG - could handle the more corrosive exhaust gases without deterioration, and the cat too. I know you would have to have a tune specifically for it, in order to really take advantage of it though. I can't imagine what it would be like with much more power at this point though. There's a really good possibility that 9 psi is going to be good enough for me.

Which one are you talking about and what trim is it? Link me as he has so many. If it's one of the top two on his main turbo page page (the one with 63 different snails) then there is no comparison really. There is a huge difference between the sleeve and ball bearing turbos. Aside from that, you'd have to compare compressor maps and a bunch of technical stuff that I don't have a good grasp of yet to really compare them.

One more uploading right now. Had to reinstall Pinnacle and tweak a little dead space out of it. She's still got a leak. I'm about to go outside and do some cuttin' and weldin' to fix the angle to relieve the stress that's causing the leak.

Weld, weld, weld, grind, grind, grind. Exhaust is done. Although there's some stuff rattling around in my cat. I think I've blown some of the catalyst loose inside. Heheh. Gonna have to get that high-flow a lot sooner than I thought....
