LatinR33 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 10psi max - I suggest learn to use search if not your going to get told off here badly. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166818-how-much-boost/#findComment-3086992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilt-Toy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 30psi is a good starting point. if your not sure then try 40. that way its safer. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166818-how-much-boost/#findComment-3087068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eMsta Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 stick with 10 on stock turbo....i believe it can go till 12 safely - but you'd be wearing the turbo out....imo anythign more than 10psi is not good - unless you have something like slide's hi flow turbos...

LatinR33 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yeh 14psi would be too much for a stock turbo, too be safe 10psi would be the max id go. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/166818-how-much-boost/#findComment-3087193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
