doesnt matter, im pushing 10-11psi on stg 2, i have pushed 13psi on stg2
and you have or you ordered the kit with s256 with extended tip.

10 psi is not much for that big turbo.

the tune that zzp gives you is more to give you an idea where the tune would be around, the local tuner (if you have) will tweak it a lil more. but at least it gives you a base tune for the turbo.

If im not mistaken is 300hp (that why i dont want to pass that line just in case lol)

and like he says, is all in the Tune.

on 10 psi i have pulled 350z's, g35's, a big is350 with exhaust. and others.

it was believed or to my understanding that 06-07 (some) had better internals or forged internals and not the 08 ones.

and i think i will ask for the intake part only to zzp lol

You would need to get injector slots milled into the intake manifold, and I'm not even sure if there is enough aluminum there to do it correctly.

because the lnf doesnt have to make room for port fuel injectors, therefore can have a different intake side profile.

11psi is way more than 260whp last I remember. Using that kit of course. It was either 11 or 12psi that yieled 350whp for ZZPs shop LE5. They don't have a dyno sheet up anymore so I don't have proof.
