Safe boost for Hybrid T3
I have a YB 8:1 CR running Emerald ECU with 550cc injectors, 3 bar map, mls head gasket with Victor Rienze head Bolts, what would be the max boost pressure I can run a T3 hybrid and what sort of power could I realisticly expect?

Plus the back pressure and heat above 20 psi could cause engine damage as my son was insistent on running 26 psi and ended up burning 2 exhaust valves out

James set it all up October 2013 & it's ran perfectly ever since, I've bought a T34/63 to go on next with 55s as James recommended.

This thread is about a T3 Paul
I worry about you sometimes
Edited to say,
I wouldn't have thought a T3 could flow enough to make nearly 360 bhp tbh, ( hybrid) or not, may be wrong of course

They end up too small

In my experience you'll be extremely lucky to get 330 out of a T3. You need a t34 to make that power.
