With a T66 no more than 10psi. They are friggin huge and a gemi 2L would have a very hard time giving it enough air. Would be so laggy that it wouldnt really even get on boost till 6000rpm, and they make their best power at about 18psi which I dont think a g series could push that much air at all. Try something smaller.

would go great for torque if you get a T3 Turbine off a VL, and get the T66 front wheel and compressor cover on it,

boost earlier and push harddddddd!!!

t66 on a 2lt gemini engine will be the biggest waste of a turbo. i wanted to do that to my supra wich is twin turbo ant the t66 blows more than the 2 stock turbos of the supra, they said u need internal work. lets say u put the t66 on the gemini some how, the 2lt wont make enuf exhaust gas to spin the fuckin turbo to get any kind of boost. maybe when u redline it ull get like 4 pounds. lol

Att: Turboy i can get a 3ltr skyline engin there the same as a VL that should creat enough power to suit the trubo if my calulations are right all that needs is the manifold to be custom made to suit the turbo and if i'm right and do it this way the turbo should start up at about 3000 to 3500 RPM but i'm still not sure how much boost i can run if i was to change this engin to the skyline engin then it's back to my orignal question how much boost can or will i be able to run on a 3ltr engin?
