    Hey everyone,
    I recently picked up a turbo car that has a dfi and a 76mm HP turbo on it. My question is how do you control how much boost it can/will make? I am completely new to turbos, i know i have seen car with a manual boost controller but this car does not have one.

    Also how much boost/ power can a hp76mm make and i also see when people are talking about .xx AR?? What is that ?

    Thanks

    do a "search", try to find some pics that explain how a boost controller works. As far as power and boost of the t76, it really depends on your entire setup. If you have all the supporting parts, I would ballpark 800-900hp? TTT for ya!!!!
