Bolt on 5.0 walking a 20psi wrx? Your friend is bullshitting to you, and those wrx's have 230hp stock and awd... at 20psi.. There is literally NO WAY you could have beaten him. Your friend is bullshitting the boost, or your bullshitting. Take your pick.

well to straighten this out, the factory boost level is set at 13.5 BUT-

STOCK TURBO-
Max safe boost : 17 psi
max safe over-boost : 19 psi (short term , under 5000 rpm)
Engine hits fuel cut if you hold 19 psi until past 5000rpm

The T-25 can handle 20 psi structurally for VERY short periods of time.


part of it is BSing if hes running the stock turbo, but when your already at 13.5-14psi, 20 isnt THAT much more

factory gauges are typically off.... like i said, that turbo will not boost to that steadily

what i posted is based off of reliable sources

It was also untuned, so that will make a difference.... :dontknow: Plus if the kid in wrx can't launch he would have a nice advantage, because awd is pointless after your off the line

I raced against a brand new stock 2009 wrx on the highway and he beats me of a car....

I have a 94 gt with, BBK cold air intake,pulleys,taylor wires,pro 5 short shifter,bbk headers,bbk o/R X pipe, flowmaster catback...

so it's possible with a H/C/I setup against an untuned wrx...

Well my buddy has a WRX and off the line they're pretty good but I noticed it has crap for high end and as soon as that b!tch hit 65 MPH is drags ass, but it's only a WRX.
