Turbo 5.0

my buddys got a 89 lx bone stock to the rubber just about with 139,000 miles. He just recently put a single turbo on itnot sure how big anywhere from 50-60 mm and has the ten pound spring in the wastegate. How much power could he possible be making? he seems to think close to five and i think more like 385-400 ish

RE: Turbo 5.0

5.0 needs a 60mm MIN.

with a 60mm and proper set-up ..... 400ish rwhp at 8-10psi on stock motor
probably a little over 400 it's a good set-up
