:facepalm: Dear christ, i have yet to see one 20g crack 400whp on these forums, and if I missed it, it was with a TON of bolt-ons. A 50 trim (.48) maxxed out is still capable of 450whp. Average people are seeing (judging by both traps and dynos) is 400whp.
So no, they dont have the same top-end. Stick to estimating 20g power, you should have plenty of charts around, theyve been on the rollers since 1983.
i did 400+ with 22psi (on 100% 91 pump no meth no nothing)
Maybe everyone should get back on track and provide this guy some useful information.I have a 20G set-up and ran 18 lbs of boost with the 10 lb wastegate off of the PCM controlled solenoid (can go as high as 20 lbs, but I would suggest fuel mods first). Now, I bought my set-up for $1000 used off the forums, so no hate mail. It would work just fine with stock everything (fuel pump, injectors, intercooler, etc…) and you could upgrade as time and money allowed. This is basically what I did. If you’re buying it new….I would probably save your money, spend the couple of extra $$$, and go with a 50 trim or similar set-up. Boost is addictive and you will most likely upgrade in the future. I know I will be soon.

Alright, alright fine. Heres the honest truth. Eric is right, the delta's are new and unless youve got a lot of risk appetite, there are plenty of tried and true setups that will cost a hair less and still give great performance. If you are concerned with the build specs or just what you are paying for, then do a lot of research before making a decision.
The 20g makes good power, great spool, and is reliable. The point being made is (1) even a 20g is more than your setup is good for, (2) you can have a ton of fun on the stock turbo with all the normal bolt-ons, and (3) when the time comes to dish out cash for a big turbo, weigh out the 20g carefully against similarly priced options.
