i was just wondering today what are the number i would want to see on my wideband with my turbo. (this is tuned)
You are what you Drive!
with a turbo 13.0 - 12.5
1989 Turbo Trans Am #82, 2007 Cobalt SS G85
I'm running in the 11's with mine. I would be scared if it was high 12's or 13's.
Is this at wot or crusing?

Under boost.
Cruising it's around 14.4-15.5

With the amount of added heat, you really want to have a richer fuel mixture to avoid pre-detonation, cause the air-fuel mixture ignites much easier when things get hotter. Mid-high 13s is likely to blow your engine sky high.
There are a few things you can do to help avoid it, but you want a much richer mixture than stoich.

I got my turbo on about two weeks ago with a wideband, when i was first starting to tune it, i hit high 13's with 5 pounds a bunch of times, engine didn't even knock. but i do not recommend doing it, i had to in order to get a base line. i am running ~12.5 under boost, i don't think you need it any richer than that, i do have it retarding bout 5 degrees though.
ok now im alil confused. ill be tuning saturday..so cruse should be safe around wat then at WOT i should be around?
speed kills, drive slow, drive a honda

cruiseing your ECU should keep you at 14.7 - 15.0. WOT you should be aroun 13's once your around -3 vacuum to whatever boost PSI your running you should not go any leaner then 12.5 intercooled....id say no leaner then 12.0 not intercooled.
Corky bells Maximum boost says around 12-13 in between..so to each there own.
