Knightsports upgraded twins - any info?
My new car purportedly has upgraded twin turbos from Knightsports. I was wondering if anyone has these or knows anything about them. I like them a lot for the super quick (and loud!) spoolup, but I don't really know anything regarding what boost levels are safe for them/what kind of power they can make. Thanks, guys.

Do you think I could make around 350rwhp@13psi? I want to be around there, but also at a safe and reliable boost level. Also, if it's possible, I'd like to use a Power FC for engine management, but I hear that it's not the ideal choice. I also don't want to have to use a hand controller to tune, as it takes away from the stock looking interior.

Alright, Power FC it is, then. I'm going to sign up for the Steve Kan tuning session at SevenStock, and before then install the PFC/commander and upgrade the fuel system to 850cc/1300cc. It already has a Cosmo fuel pump so I think that would be enough. I don't know what PSI is reliable for a stock engine, though. It may only have 2000 miles but I don't want to pop it in the next 30,000 or so.
And Dirty, if I make 350rwhp you might be in trouble...
