c20let's can handle a lot of boost without internals, unlike most engines, where you have to do various piston,connection rod upgrades, there's more scope with the let's

18/19 psi, then airflow needs increasing

also darren if you want a better performing turbo unit, recon the stock turbo, people are fooled into thinking newer hybrids will do more good
