Default What can a turbo take

Hi there. Not bin on here for a while. Had a mad moment and replaced my rb320 with a m3 and now need a scooby again lol. I. Lookin at a halkeye 2006 running 370 bhp. The guy tell me it's go a full exhaust system. Full induction. Fuel pump and remap swell as other things like dump valve , gauges etc. But what in wondering is if it is possible to get 370 bhp out of a standard turbo. Thanks alot

No not really. The turbos are really 350bhp capable to be honest. But some hit higher numbers than this like any exception to the rule. VF48s from the Hatch STI are more like a 360bhp-370bhp turbo.

Good spec, nice looking car, but the only way to find out the genuine output of the car is stick it on the dyno.

If he has the dyno graphs he might have boost and fueling as a graph too from the run. It all depends on how hard the turbo is being run to extract those numbers really.

Unlikely but very hard to answer without the facts or more information.
