Stock flange fitment, boost by 3600rpm and power to 7500...the CST5 is the turbo for your Speed

Not too big, not too small and now with ball bearing! ITS JUST RIGHT for YOUR SPEED. Capable of built block power and extremely fast spool times, this turbo can make 500+whp and hit 20psi by 3400-3500rpm. The CorkSport CST5 turbo can be tuned for a more laid-back curve that is stock block safe or pushed to 30+psi for built blocks and auxiliary fueling. No matter what build you have this turbo will be sure to impress.

CST5 installation instructions

This is a fantastic upgrade to my 06 MS6. Takes a little bit longer to spool up, but not by much. Sounds nicer through the CS 4" intake and can hold boost all the way to red line. IF YOU GET THE INTERNAL WAIST GATE OPTION, MAKE SURE YOU GET A 3 PORT BOOST CONTROLLER!!! They don't tell you you need this until half way through the instructions. Set me back about a week on my build but I guess that mechanics for you, haha!
Stock flange (super easy), ball bearing (amaze ballz) and a power curve from 3500-7500rpm? Thats the CST5 Ball Bearing. It kicks ass and doesn't give up. If you want a fun, responsive and powerful street car this is the only turbo you should be looking at. While it doesn't spool like a stock K04, its is shocking how fast this turbo wakes up and gets going for the size but then it just keeps going to a blissful 7500rpm! I use to run a BNRs4...which was ok...but the CST5 literally walks all over it. Faster spooling and holds power better. I literally have no regrets switching to the CST5, I love it.
The solid play that is the CST5 turbo just got anime angry eyes that for-shadow impending doom. Already making 20 lbs on my all out Dankai2 track build @3400 rpm, I can happily flog the piss out of this thing with the durability of the dual ball bearings CHRA. Lets face it guys, the world will let you down, CS’s hard oily balls won’t.

On IWG, how much boost (PSI) does the CST5 can hold? I want to know more details about boost control of the CST5 on IWG. THANKS!
