Thoughts?
Ya, but your half the PR (pressure ratio) 20+psi vs 10psi.

KB, I was just thinking that last night....so you think it'll work ok for a mild setup (6-8 psi)?

I wish I had a compressor map for this IHI turbo, but I can't find one ANYWHERE.....

Oh well, it's only some steel, wire, and argon to find out...

There's a good chance I might give it a shot, but not until the snow flies. Don't want to tear into my baby until I can't drive it anymore
