You can but it wont last very long...also your charge temps would be quite high at that level due to the small turbo having to work its bollocks off imo

Make sure you give that turbo a decent send off when he die's then

sometimes it spits out flames,but have a flamer kit as well,bloody wish i did not bother with it now,one of those spur of the moment things if i was u i would get a T34 with .48 exhaust housing which will cut down the lag and can handle stage 3 boost lebels no probs!although still will reguire a remap!

my old t3 used to peak at 24psi and hold 22psi
as said though it didn't last very long and when i took it off it had 5 or six cracks inside the exhaust housing!

My T3 used to peak 24psi and drop off to 16psi.

Now my T34 peaks 24psi and holds 20psi but on a ported and polished head its working the greens too hard and leans off up the revs.
