Jcab, I thought you were going to run methenol injection and up the boost to 14.... Don't worry about the 300 club, go for the 400!!! :D.

I am going to run the methanol injecton. And I plan on doing some 14lbs pulls if everything is going well.

How many lbs do you think would be needed to get to 400rwhp?

Also, would the turbo even flow enough to reach 400rwhp?

You will see on the dyno if the turbo starts to back up on you. The power band will broaden and the midrange TQ and HP will be your only increase. Max power will be the same or even tail off a bit.

Because this upgrade is water cooled do we still need to use a turbo timer for it?

Just as a precaution, yes. It wouldn't hurt having one. I don't run a TT on a water cooled turbo...

I'm pretty sure if you just put some water in your oil it will turn to liquid nitrogen, some people just run 4 extra oil coolers full of extra extra virgin mary olive oil, and a dash of red wine vinager. But don't cheap out and get the off brand stuff it's gotta be Crisco brand. Good Luck.

If it is water cooled that means to tap into the existing water cooling system the engine already has .
