I saw when I had my mx-6 turbo while looking at the specs on them that they were 145hp and 195 torque. I'll tell you that the stock turbo will push 15 psi,once it peaks at 16-17 the computer will have feul cut. Mine pegged out at 18psi for the first couple weeks till the computer caught on to it. I ran 14.5's in the quarter at 12psi with a manual boost controller and over 200,000 miles on it.

Yeah, my mom had one of those MX-6 gt turbos. It was a great car. FAST. I wish I had the forethought to buy it when she traded it on her new Volvo. Anyway it is gonna be a great build.
