how much hp can a stock 3sgte handle before she starts to fold.

That really depends on how it was taken care of ... and how well it was modified.

Assuming it was properly cared for and the modifications done well, it is not unusualy to see 400+. There have been those that have surpassed 500.

Chad,

Your friend seems very misinformed.

As long as your car is properly set up for a larger turbo, there is no issues.

Hyde had 180,000 miles on it when I bought it and I strapped on a T3T4.
Over the course of 3 years, with proper modifications, I was racing the thing at 24 psi of boost.

Now I am over 200,000 miles on the engine and I went to an even bigger GT35R and I am running 20-21 psi.

It's all about doing it right
