Yes I have a V6 with a Garrett turbo running 10 psi with a ported wastgate to prevent boost creap.








No, not really :(

AFAIK only a few 7th gens have been boosted. A couple of 4 bangers have already done so, and a couple of v6s are being turboed at the present.

IIRC, to "boost" a car is to steal it. I saw that in the movie "gone in 60 seconds" which was WAY better than that fast and furious crap.

I have a T3 in my Merkur running about 12psi. I am gonna get a Gillis boost valve soon, so I can manually set it.
