I'm sure with a new clutch, better tuning w/ more boost, you'll be happy.
without the latter two, you will have the same problems with the b.

Your in the infant stages of boost. 6psi really is nothing compared to cranking it up to 10. Which you should be able to do pretty safely without any kind of major tuning. I'm selling my clutch in classifieds for $150. It only has 6k miles on it. (Another shameless plug, but ---- man, this ---- is all almost brand new)

ok...clutch $280.00
tune..chip $80.00
you can swap in a B series for $360.00? you must be some type of magician. with a good tune @10psi you'll be at 220hp.

Thats a pretty vauge discription of a turbo? lol

Post some pics and some #'s on turbo, maybe what it came off of etc.

10psi on a d can definatly last, Beerbongkicksass has been running 10psi for quite some time on his d, and it runs perfect. It's also tuned perfect too, That is very important to making these things last. Dont skimp on the clutch either.
