369 sxe setups

I would suggest learning how to read a compressor map, because you're already anticipating on running it potentially 20psi ~ past its max efficiency range.

Now, idk what elevation you're at, but for example, at my 450ft elevation, 55psi out of a 369 is only moving around 70lbs per minute at dang near a 5.0 pressure ratio. That, and its riding the surge line, AND the max wheel speed line, if not over it. In simple terms, its extremely inefficient.

At my elevation, it's 14.5 atmospheric pressure, which in order to get a 369 moving 90lbs per minute... I only would need a whopping 33psi in the gauge...

Forgot about boost, it's not what you need to focus on. Volume is the key. High volume, low pressure, that's what you should be looking to get.

Thing that that bugs me the most, is these "turbo builders" are sending these things out with the gate set well outside of the map. Maybe it's fine at their elevation, idk, but it just looks bad to me.
