Gotta Question About Turbos

[08Sedan]

Having my stock 2.2L with just the intake silencer removed, how much horsepower could I safely achieve with just a turbo kit? My goal is 200whp...is that realistic? What sort of psi would I need to push to get that?


And a tune, of course.

Nope turbo is going to increase your HP slot more than that

6 psi is safe on stock internals

0 psi is safe on stock internals if you really think about it. i wouldn't even chance turbocharging a 2.2 without throwing 1k into the internals first. that's just me, because mine is my daily driver.

At 6psi tuned what should I roughly be making at the wheels? This is my dd as well...

 

[BankDude]

you'd easily hit 200whp.

Ok thanks for the replies, I know that I def want to turbo now. Any suggestions on turbo kits and tuners? Trifecta is supposed to be the shiz-nit right? And I'm not looking to use another factory kit...I'd rather order a turbo that was meant for my engine, and has all the necessary parts.

i think t3/t4 turbos are good. idk if thats the brand but yeah. look on ebay but only on trusted sellers, good reviews and at least 99% positive feedback

no turbo is meant for your engine. they are all universal to a point, the main difference is the exhaust manifold and intake manifold.
