whats times should be expected on the 5th gen with 7lbs of boost turbo

There are lots of variables when determining 1/4 times, if you could provide us with a few more details about the car, I'm sure we could help you a little bit.

Keep in mind that all turbos are made different, and they will react differently with respect to a/r ratio, wastegate, manifold, intercooler, intercooler piping etc.

telling you expected times and actually running them are 2 totally different things

but on average...7lbs of boost...~220-250whp....high to mid 13's

btw, you still want my BOV? I lowered the price

I have a Greddy kit, HKS SSQV, intercooler high flow cat and greddy evo. My aboslute FASTEST time ever was a 13.498. I commonly run 13.9's. So, I can safely say that's what you can expect

what size turbo are you running? and what tires? i was running 9 lbs on a t3/t4e 60trim .63a/r and on the strip i couldn't get traction till the end of 3rd with my street tires. i was pullin mostly mid 14's with all 102+mph traps. the funny thing was that my 1/8 time was the same with the turbo as when i was stock but my traps picked up about 18mph at the end. so basically it's all a matter of traction.
