Deffo no need to have a pop at Piggy, he's pushed his 2.1 through some remarkable barriers and has more than made up for it's extra weight on the front by loosing pretty much all of it from the rest of the car.
Most of us on here have grabbed an engine, a turbo, some internet research and and sellotaped it together best we can. A lot of car scenes follow a very 'easy' bolt on turbo / pump / injector upgrade route, and it's nice to see people over here experimenting with what they have laying around.
Lets all give each other an encouraging pat on the back and look towards the holy trinity of boost, boost and the holy boost
Back on topic?
Have you plumbed in an emp gauge on this? Would be really interesting to measure backpressure, you'll soon see when the gt2052s is starting to choke up. Plus you'll need it for when you go VNT
As Anton said, 25psi is prob a safe bet - but we prob both ran a little above that on the same turbo and did a fair amount of miles between us.
Either way, epic little turbo - for a daily driver they don't half pick you up and get your around.
