How much boost from a standard T3?
Whats about the max boost you can run a standard T3 at?
I need a new turbo but we think mines stage 2 and holds 15psi but I know of a standard T3 for sale. If this will hold around the same boost I'll just buy that.

Well i wasnt hanging about thats for sure, nailing the Type-R`s like they were standing still, added a bit of Toulene to the fuel also to raise the Octane level! Nice!
Basically, a Hybrid can include a 360 degree thust bearing along with modified compressor/exhaust wheels etc to create a Turbo that is more reliable and has the cabability to push more airflow.

Providing you warm the car up/shut it down correctly/change the oil regulaly and it is set upcorrectly a reliable 20psi is achievable in my opinion. My T3 used to glow so white hot you could see the exhaust fan spinning but i always used to chill out about 2 miles from home and let it cool down then idle before shut-off. If these rules are followed you will have no problems

Mate if you actually understood what you were talking about then maybe you should comment, but seeing as you dont.......... you shouldnt!!
In answer to Adams question, it depends on the spec of your engine mate.
But what you should be asking is how much air can a stock T3 flow and so how much power can it produce?
CrazyCage will not agree with me here but i'm just quoting what Chris from TOTD told me and what Christian @ APT and Stu @MSD have also said which is that a stock T3 is good for about 180bhp -190bhp.

Mine peaks at 14psi and holds at 12psi and that's on a standard t3 turbo from when the car was new but I've only had my car chipped about 7 months ago so not sure how long it will last but still pulls fine with no problems at all.

FPMSL!! 
Yeah well i've seen a 933bhp on Fiesta Turbo bored out to a 3.5 litre running a stock T2 @ 3psi, monopoint injection!!!!!
EDIT: Unless of course it's a cossie T3? But this thread is about a stock ERST T3.

You also failed to state if this 230 was at the wheels or flywheel
So to answer in similar vagueness to the question... Possibly

Theres a old post on here or in general discussion about the Performance Ford S2 running 258bhp on a standard turbo, Jamsport Head & Matched Manifolds (standard ones), 285T2 cam with a Pro Alloy Cooler and Gotech.
It did 258bhp on 19psi with a standard bottom end and standard turbo. Got the magazine with it in too.
Couldnt see how a standard turbo would flow enough for that power but there was a massive debate on here about it with the PF boys saying it was definitely true.

yes good reply
standard bottom end and head, std management, but what obviously helped ALOT was the piper 285T2 and figure was at the flywheel. would have been godsmaked if that figure was at the wheels

Not i'm not a tuner but like i said above i'm quoting 3 reputable tuners Stu from MSD the creator of Passion ford, Christian from APT very well known on here and also Chris from Torque of the Devil!!
So it's not what i really know it's what they know and i'm sure thats more than me, you and most of PF put together!!
Like i also said in my post and almost every other poster after me if thats a standard Escort RS T3 then it's not possible!!
The only person that will look like a dick is the person quoting stupid power figures from a pathetic stock T3
If a stock T3 could hold 17psi and make 267bhp on a 2.1L then why did Ford fit a bigger spec'd T3 to the 2.0L Cossie's?????

I've never seen a Cossie T3 in the flesh so dont know, but i'm sure something will be different if you knew what to look for.
Like you say it produces the power/speed that you want so it doesnt really matter, I was just trying to help Adam by answering his question about what he can get out of a stock T3.
