it varies depending on so many things with the turbo, like what oil has been through it, has it been regularly been sreviced ( mine was running 15psi with front mount and had no issues).But with that intercooler i agree no more than 10psi.

to be safe id say 10, becuase things go wrong,

and its not a perfect world

i mean why push it to the max if you want to to last

if you want to see how long it will hold up for, run 15 and see what happens

ALSO METAL HEAD GASKETS FTW!

well, if it f**ks up, time for an engine rebuild..........im sure some famous workshops can do their rebuilds properly for less than 15ks.

on the other hand pushing the stock motor too far will only cause you problems, unexpected ones coming from experience.....

so dont wind your boost up too high, dont tune the car too agreesively, dont bolt on a turbo which is too big for the motor to handle....

I upped the boost to 12psi and the ecu was shite!! Missing all over the place and wasn't pretty. New aftermarket ecu and same boost = tons more kw!!! Very happy. Now to find some decent coil packs before I go mad.

Seems every step you take causes something else to reach it's limit.

Firstlly Id run a search as this topic is one of the most common topics covered here at SAU...

Plus id do the search in the forced induction part of the forum as the max psi levels here in QLD are the same as everywhere else...

That aside,

I ran 14psi on a stock turbo but this was with everything else in place and a perfect tune...

I would not suggest it on a stock ecu tho...

I cant remember if its .7 bar or 7 psi standed. but the turbo can run safly without any problem at .9 or 9 psi without ever suffering any problems related to turbo wear and or over heating due to oil temp.

This was an offical release from the nissan motor sports unit where they are made.

You should probly do a google on it but I know 100% that it is within that range that it is totaly safe.

you will need a new ecu, fmic, exhust turbo back + dump pipe, HD cluch, maybe injectors, new fuel pump and mostly 15 psi comfortably a hiflow turbo or a new turbo and a good tune and might pull about 220 to 240 kwrw

Thats the answer i like to hear soon as i get a turbo 33 or 34 depends how much money im willing to for out i will be following your list ive actually copy pasted it and saved it in a note pad file. thx heaps

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
