My opinion

You will love the site, untill everyone makes fun of your retarted post. First off you are member 1 million asking how many vtak psi you can run. Seccond you should run at least 24psi on stock boost or you won't feel anything. Third I am amazed you are new to the site....You should put a JDM turbo on your JDMhatch

it doesnt matter how much boost you run , its your choice.
24psi u might as well sort out your coffin before you race it .

why are you shooting for psi? why not shoot for hp, ask how much hp is safe to run on stock internals, different turbos puts out different hpi at the same boost levels (psi)

(so to rewrite you question: how much hp would be safe to run on a stock ls vtec? and what would I need to accomplish this? )
whats your turbo setup plans what turbo you plan to use, what ems?

all depends on who tunes it.

we've run 15lbs without issues, but have seen people melt ---- at 5psi.

8-10 is the norm.

basically it comes down to horsepower and tuning, not necessarily psi alone

If you aren't that ------- stupid, tell us exactly how ------- stupid you are, and I'll tell you everything you need to know.

BTW, welcome to HMT... enjoy being flamebait until the next n00b strolls along and we leave you alone so we can break him in real good.
