One of the questions I had in this thread: click was how much power could realistically (and reliably) be made with the stock USDM GVR4 turbo (14b I believe)on an internally stock motor. Everything external to the motor (intake/exhaust/fmic/fuel/ecu/etc) are all open and could be modded as needed.
[*]On an internally stock motor how much boost will the stock USDM turbo even support? [*]With stock head-bolts and gasket how much HP/TQ could you make? [*]What about w/ ARPs and a different gasket?[/list]
Please keep in mind I'd be running E85, so factor that into your guesses. Absolute peak power is not the ultimate goal, but a really strong, broad power-band.
