t3's, t3/4's etc

[ed armstrong]

Wow, you got 23 psi boost from a K26 turbo with stock
CIS if I understand correctly ?? This is contrary to
what I heard from previous posts to the list that
suggest 16-18 psi is the max limit for a turbo CIS
setup due to fuel and especially airflow limitations.
Is there something that you did not mention in your
setup that allowed these high boost levels with the
K26 ??
