Hate to burst your bubble but if you hit 30 Psi accurate on pump fuel with stock or near to stock compression ratio it DID knock you just didn't hear it.
I just hit 30psi today!! on my 60-1

why is it that people think not hitting fuel cut is cool? if you have your car all setup and tuned cool. but... here you are running 30psi and fuel cut would have saved you at what... 14psi?

Exactly. Hell, anyone with a good standalone that was properly tuned has boost cut for that exact reason. Most people see it as something to get rid of when it's really there to PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.

hey, not exactly sure if this is fact or not, but the guy that rebuilt my CT26 at MIC Turbo (a reputable turbo shop) said that the 60-1 ct26 is good for 22psi. not sure as far as the hot air part, but also, isn't that what the intercooler is for? i thought the turbo naturally heated up the air after it went into the turbo, i mean the exhaust is right there.

well once again, the guy that rebuilt my turbo said the 60-1 is good to 22psi.
He did? Well shit, let me put that 60-1 on my 7.4L diesel and run 22psi with it!
The very fact that he told you what 'psi' a turbo is good for, tells me he knows not what he's speaking of. :3d_frown:

just because the compressor wheel is good for 22psi doesnt mean your exhaust wheel is...
and if that guy said 22 and you ran 30, you should be happy it all stayed together! hahaha
so you also understand, when you incrase the pressure of things it increases the heat due to the atoms are moving faster in a smaller area and so when you get it that high, like 30psi, your intercooler probably couldnt keep up...
bottom line, dont do it again. i just dont wanna see a thread about how your fresh engine and turob are now fucked...

wait, nelson has trophies for the winners this year?:3d_frown:
i didn't get any trophy for first place dyno last year,:wtc: maybe cause it was a mkiii:sarcasm:

Don't know why I was so harsh on him right off of the bat. And I'm still having problems correctly using the word 'you're', I don't notice it lol.Doward;1107300 said:
Everyone in here. Read that. Read it again. Read it a thousand times until it sinks. If you need help, I have some nice spit polished curb stomping boots to help you in assimilating that information. understand it, comprehend it.
Hell, to see what Doward is refering to, a quick check on the Garrett site shows exactly that.
Turbos FLOW (CFM). PSI is a resistance to that flow which is correlated directly to the displacement of the engine. Smaller displacement engines will have a higher intake pressure reading than an engine with a bigger displacement to acheive the SAME power.

That spreadsheet shows the very fact. Comapre the 4 engines with different configs, displacements and VE and see what the needed intake pressure is to achieve a certain power.
don't think you are getting through to him:nono:IJ.;1107012 said:
you did knock now the question is did you do any damage? Maybe or maybe not, your bearings did not like it, nor did your ring lands. You may be ok or you could have a rod fly out the block at a later date. Only time will tell...get that boost under controll no spikes or creep
haha..im suprised people are still posting on this thread... i blew up the 60-1 turbo.. i now have a Lipp boss turbo, and a fully built motor.
