| Re: The "4.9 liter turbocharger, stage 1" thread.
Do not base the sizing of a diesel turbo and how it was used and performed on a diesel to a gas motor with the same turbo... Diesels have more exhaust energy than gas engines. It would be a DAMN good idea to find out the compressor maps like Call me crazy is trying to do rather than judge the outcome based on engine displacement and rpms of a different engine that had the same turbo The VE of the 2 engines are probably different at different rpms etc. so it makes it even more vague an assumpstion to go by... I think it would be hard to hurt a motor with 9.5:1 static compression with 6psi assuming it is properly tuned, if not then all bets are off, especially with an intercooler....
