A new turbo....PTE's 6870

The system looks beautiful, but my bayou streets scare me when I see a turbo that low to the ground.

Water =

BOOM

I live in Houston and had the same concerns. After having the kit I've had no issues. The air filter sits above the subframe so you'd have to dive thru over 6" of water to have any concern. That much water will carry your car away.

BOOSTED have you ever measure the temperatures before the inter-cooler?

It seems to me that most of these turbo love a pressure ratio of 15psi at the 500hp to 600hp range.

Low pressure ratios (1.6 or near 10psi) at 500hp to 600hp seem to be operating in the low efficeincy areas of the compressor maps.

Perhaps I may be missing something.
