They are in Studio City, on Ventura Boulevard, a half mile east of Laurel Canyon. Ask for Sam or Alan: (818) 766-2321. Feel free to use me as a reference.

To be fair, at 1.0 bar you are probably making closer to 500HP. Closer to 550 at 1.2-1.3.

In some ways you are wasting your K24s by not going to 1.2 to 1.3 BAR, K16s can make 1.0 to 1.1 BAR with less lag. Go for the boost upgrade, the power is noticeable!

BTW I also highly recommend Speed Gallery. Good bunch of guys who know their sh*t.
This is the power we make @1.2 bar with K-24/26's

I have the X-50, it currently peaks at 0.9bar. Considering flash, how does the flash cause the increased boost, and what is the max safe sustainable boost this engine can tolerate? For example if you were to track you car all day, what would be the highest reliable boost you guys would think this engine could tolerate "safely"?

TIA

if you can track your car all day @ full boost, you sir, need a new career

from the consensus, you are safe beyond what your turbos are capable of.

I think the limiting factor in your situation may be that of the maximum sustainable boost the K24's can sustain.

U guys, everyone knows thats k24s peak 1.2 bars and sustain 1.1 bars... I had the "stages" so I know... maybe an upgraded wastegate will hold 1.2 bars steady.. if not 1.3 bars- and thats it... u can say good guy to k24s...
if u want more power at those boost levels.. u gave to get k24 hybrids and kick *** programming...
