I saw this week where we have Two different Turbos that are being made. What are the Horsepower ratings that they are hopefully trying to achieve? There was one with a guy that made one for a Miata(Bell)and then there is a turbotronics pic i saw of a turbo. There was a thread talking about these two fighting it out and it will come down to cost. I just want to know the HP gains at 8psi. Thaks for the help.
 
from what i understand, at 8psi you will need some sort of auxiliary engine managment and intercooler of sorts, and can see upwords of 220hp at the wheels.

with a 6psi system you should be able to get 190 to the wheels and will be able to use your stock ecu with no intercooler.
 
Most kits will give you 10-11 HP per psi. So for a rough estimate just take 8psi and multiply by 11 and get 88HP gain or roughly 228 HP. That is a very rough estimate though :)
