Haha I have my Subaru for DD so before I tear it all apart and change out turbos I'll have to dyno it. This summer.
That should be okay. For starters plan on getting new clutch kit as your will quickly be on its way out if it is not already once its subjected to repeated boost. Exedy Stage 1 is a great replacement.

5 to 7 psi is fine for a dd the stock msp set up is 6psi? I would say get a beater car just incase because once you go with a turbo it puts stress on the motor that its never had before. I have a 500 dollar beater for when this finally goes I'm staying away from turbos completley untill I have forged internals. You need to do a lot of research before you actually decide to goahead and do it. Also your current intake won't work with a turbo

Then you shouldn't be modding. It's a hobby, not something you spend your last dollar on and live pay check to pay check.

Then you should focus on saving your money first and for most. Gas prices are insane and lord knows that's a big hit to your pocket; then dropping in a turbo wouldn't help. After you have some decent money under your belt you should check out your nearest junior college and get your associates. Believe me it's not hard! Just focus on getting your s*** straight and finishing school. Doesn't matter what it is, but if I was anyone I focus on learning a particular skill you enjoy doing. The semester's will fly by in no time!
When you graduate you'll future will be a whole lot brighter. Then when you find a good job and have money for yourself.... MOD AWAY~!
Damn I wish I dyno'd mined before I streteched the wrist pin........... 18 PSI on a stock block for over 6 months ..Oh and no holes in the block....... Oh well, no dyno no proof. I would say 8-9 PSI daily with a good tune and you will be fine. I run 12 on LO and 15 on HI now until I can dyno tune

You ran 18psi on stock internals, if so about how many miles were on your car when you ran it that Rob? That's crazy stuff... if you could pm me your mod list @ the time and tune I'll appreciate it..
Apx 25,000 is when I upped my boost, Stretched the wrist pin at 38,000. I'll shoot you a PM, I am not saying for anyone to try it....... Just saying I made it work and I was running EMS. I just wish I got a dyno/ drag strip run but I was young and having fun on Sat nights....

I am only at 41000 now on the body......... 1200 on my new motor
Rob
I'm @ 90k and some change on the body & 90k and change on the motor.
The goal is at 2500 miles on the motor I will switch to a full stand alone, dyno tune at 25 PSI and see how long the motor last........
Rob
BTW I will have a spare 2500$ built motor ready........unlike last time....... IMO if you want to boost more than 14 PSI be prepaired to swap out your motor at some point.

Listen to him you already have intake exhaust and suspension setup that's good enough for now. If I had listned to everybody id be graduating this spring with a degree to make 50k a year starting out but instead now I bust my ass for 10 bucks an hour and can barely afford to fix my car forget about the car and go to shool even if its just a community college not lecturing just saying think about your life not a car that won't last longer than a year before it blows up after you turbo it
