saab turbo setup psi
Wednesday, February 23, 2011 2:50 PM
Im not asking for smart ass remarks!!!!!!!! Just trying to get some ideas on how much boost ppl are running on the saab setup? i know everyones engine is different due to where you live and how the motor was taken care of and tuning but i havent seen many ppl posting how much boost they have ran.. a buddy of mine ran 10 psi for the last 4 years and only had to replace a clutch...

When PROPERLY tuned and installed on a well maintained trouble free L61, you should max out the saab turbo before really exceeding the hardware's capabilities. Meaning, when you're in the high teens/low twenties PSI, you are approaching hairdryer mode and not making more power per boost. Your buddy's 10 psi probably amounting to low 200's whp.

I run 10 psi on mine, ive had it up around 12 a few times. When i first had it done it was only hitting like 6 psi. I like the feel of 10 for it being pretty much my summer daily driver, nice and reliable.







CAR IS FOR SALE...Saab Kit, GM Reflash, 10 psi
