Shadow_419 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 At that engine speed you're barely into boost at all. Unless you're actively accelerating and getting on the gas, you're probably running at vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatentWagen Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 At that engine speed you're barely into boost at all. At 3k he's well into the boost threshold and would be making a little boost even at low throttle inputs. Unless you're actively accelerating and getting on the gas, you're probably running at vacuum. This is how any turbo works, at any RPM on the map. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising wouldn't be putting any undue stress on the turbo unless there is some other problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Lot's of us travel at 70-7-5mph for hours, the turbo is fine doing that. Even at 80mph. That is an old saying never stay in full boost for over 15 seconds, that's from the turbo'd Honda days. I would think with a car set up with water cooling like these are you can run longer at higher rpm's...just remember you have to pay to play. But for normal driving 3000 rpm is not that hard in these turbo's. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
