DAmn how much boost are you running turbo1g?

SVT had a 4 banger turbo I think in 85 that could run like 13.9, it came with 15psi of boost. I feel that most copact and imports make good runs on good boost, because of the Hp to weight ratio. IT takes more torque and HP to move a heavier car, even though he making 400hp. But for a compact car he only has to make around 300hp to the wheels to run a better or same time. All becasue the car is lighter. SO thats why alot of imports and compacts are so damn fast. But I hope that your engine is equipped to run high boost to run those times. BUt I applaud you if you are running those time, becasue 13.9 in a small car seems damn fast when your driving. My best run in my 3.8L 95 mustang automatic was a 15flat(modified n/a), considering my first 1/4 stock was 17 sec, But you are right the mustangs are damn heavy.

Im runing 10 psi for now.Injectors are too small.its hard to get injectors for the car because they high resistance so now im working on injector harnes to run low resistance injectors.I ran 16 psi just till like 5000 rpms once and that was crazy ride.My turbo runs at 55% now, over 14 psi its 85% eficient.
