i would run it pretty much flat out if it was mine; t3's can be bought for £100 now. personally i'd run it it 2 bar, just make sure you've dont max out greens

if you want to be safe then maybe 1.8 bar

I ran my 3DR on a T3 at a spike of 32psi and held 28psi till 5800rpm then it tailed off slightly.....

the car was standard power for 67k then as above for 15k TROUBLE free......it was monitered every 2 months by Karl at Norris Motorsport as it was the Mule car for what is now known as the "Gunship" conversion

It would vary on the spec of the turbo and condition, but TT said i could run my T3 at 28psi all day long.

I always thought anything above 24psi was overspeed for a T3 but judging by other peoples opinions I may be wrong.I always had mine @24 spike holding 22.I thought anymore it would shit its self

I personally wouldn't run a standard T3 at mega boost with any expectation to last for ages

If you want to run it up near the 2 bar territory without it being a consumable, i'd personally suggest having it overhauled with a 360 degree thrust bearing etc.

Yup, that's what mine has Willis. The usual Stage 3 T3 waffle, bearing, cut back blades blah blah.

If it's a boggo cheap one...i'd still wring it's neck, but i'd expect a short life.
