i was curious so i can get some numbers from those with a d15a3 turbo. i was curious on what size turbo, the setup ur useing, and how many psi's ur running into ur engine.

im tryin to find out "if u have " " PSI's how much HP u are getting". ive been thinkin a lot about turbos, and want to find out what kind of #'s give u 6-8. 8-10, etc. im tryin to figure out what would be good for me.

i kno, its kinda on the dumb side.

generally speaking, it depends on what your motor has done to it.
200whp is a realistic figure on 10-12 psi tuned with a wideband.

would be good to run about 6-8lbs of boost on stock internals.....

sorry to be rude but your use of "PSI's" is a little off. "PSI's" arent a thing its pounds per square inches so its like how much psi are you running not how many psi's. just a little constructive criticism, sorry if im a douche. haha
It runs! Carb to Megasquirt EFI.

id say you shoudl run 11 psi on a a stock block and see how it goes. then bump it up to 14-15.
keep a spare block handy.

I fully agree to that. 116 shots or 13 lbs boost and lots of backfires from leaning out and its still living.
