I'm 15 and need help on PSI.

Hi, I'm 15 years old and my mom gave me her 87' Shadow ES. I want to get a little more hp than it has (it has 155hp).
First of all it has a 7 psi turbo on it. Its bascialy bare bone stock. I striped the inside and i need to change its broken fule pump but thats beside the point.

My cousin wants me to get a 14 psi which might get 200+ hp. I wanted a 19 to a 21 psi for some extra performance. Dont tell me i cant handle a car like that, even if i cant i want to know about the turbo.

I want to know what i need to have a 14, or a 21 psi turbo and if you can change the psi the psi on the turbo i have all ready.

I bet i'm going to have a hell of a time getting it run because the car hasnt been started in over a year maybe even two. If you have any tips on helping my car run tell me that to.

I would apreachite it if you e-mailed me you tips to me as well as put it on the forum. My e-mail is defbigt@comcast.net

Oh, lordy. Read all of the dodge garage, then read it again.

Follow the links on the didge garage to guss' site, and read all of it.

Try minimopar.net for some needed info.

Above all prepare for a lot of swearing and throwing of things because you will be doing a lot of hard frustrating work on that rig.

Please mr 440dart, some semi proper grammar and some punctuation would make this much easier to read. Our 15 yr old friend up there used it. Please do the same. This may be a pet peeve of mine but run on sentences and slacker words like "cuz" and "ur" and etc... make this board look like a bunch of uneducated punk ricers, which we arent. Please help us keep the more mature nature of this board intact.
