[merc85]

i had a 18t on my last 850 t5, for 2 years never had a issue was boosting 19 psi with it was carefull not to boost below 3.500rpm

16t is a good little turbo i may well end up getting one too as my car is auto. dont wanna strain the gearbox

Mine seems to sit just under half way, is that normal?

[T5RPete]

Yeah, mine sits about half way up the scale, always has done.

As for turbos, keep your eyes peeled and the cash set aside. Then jump as soon as the one you're after comes up. Exactly what i've just done...
