My goal is to reach 300hp (240rhp) in my MR2 Turbo. Anyone here believe that the CT-26 (Stock) can't reach this goal?

I believe that the CT-26 (Stock) can reach it at a safe 16lbs of boost (Probrably shifting around 5,500 RPMS), but at least I would be spooling up faster than an upgraded turbo. Sure, the upgraded turbo will pump out more HP... but since I'm keeping the stock fuel setup.... it can only net around 15 to 20 hp more than the regular CT-26.

Given this educated guess... I think I would probrably cut a faster time (At least in the 1/8 mile track) spooling quicker than slower with an extra 15 to 20 hp! Even if I'm not quicker, you would have to measure the differnce in milli secs either way! I think when I consider investing $ 575.00 in a upgraded CT-26 or $ 850.00 for a CT-20B in this scenerio... its not worth it.

After listening a bit here and researching on line, I now believe that its going to take a Greddy Intercooler to achive this safely. The cheapest price I found was $ 850.00 (new).
