S14 T28 BB, good idea to run 17-18 PSI?
Hey guys just curious if 17-18 PSI is ok on a S14 T28 BB. I think it might be right at around its limit but I'm not sure. And if anyone has a idea of how much WHP I can make with a S14 T28 that would help. I herd on a CA its good to like 270-280 WHP I could be wrong though so let me know!

You can run that much boost through them and they'll perform, but you'll depleting it's life expectancy fast and I mean terribly fast.Nicksemianiw wrote:Hey guys just curious if 17-18 PSI is ok on a S14 T28 BB.

The s14 t28 is not a dual ball bearing center cartridge. In any rate, being a journal bearing turbo they are cheap as hell to rebuild. Run it within an inch of its life. 18psi all day long. I don't see anything wrong with doing that, in spite of Dee's warnings haha. You really have t do that just to get any power out of it. Its a hilariously small turbo, all things considered (though massive in comparison to the stocker).
