Yea but I don't assume people want to get to that end game.
Lord knows I went a bit overboard.

I went with the rosewood stage 1's recently with stock turbo but t-500 hpop, and I am loving the power. Went to Portland, OR and trailered my father in laws 93 explorer back to walla walla, WA. set the cruise at 65 mph and my egts never went above 900* (dp-tuner 80hp tow) but if I wanted to pass someone I could. Granted it's not a ton of weight but a big different from stock. My set up if perfect for me, for now

To go 180's you should do studs, springs, pushrods, e-fuel, IC, custom tunes, t-4 kit with s frame turbo, intake, full exhaust the and clutch/built trans. So your 2k injectors just turned into 15-20k

Interesting, now im curious..whats the relationship of excessive fuel and not enough turbo (for the lack of a better term)?

Also excessive boost levels will damage thrust bearing and elevated boost levels indicate operating out of the compressor map resulting in decreased efficiency.
The large part here is having a goal and plan to obtain the goal set fourth
