is 9 pounds too much?
I finally got me car running and its boosting 9 pounds. It feels so fast 
. Should I just run 9 pounds daily? Im using the carb spring method and my management is afc and msd btm. Oh yeah...the motor (d16a6) has 200,000 miles on it but runs pretty mint. I haven't heard any detonation at all. Thanks.

just connect a spring to your wastegate flapper and connect it to your block. it works really well...don't even need an actuator. i hope my motor will last for a while at 9psi...it is so god damn fun.

Why not? I'm running 13-15psi with the carb spring :-)
9psi is doable, as long as you don't knock or run lean or anything. Proper management is a must.
Did I neglect to mention I have a built motor? :-)13psi on a stock bottom end = lots of broken stuff.
