i woudnt go no higher then 12psi...depending on what size turbo & the tune!

12psi on a t66 is different then 12psi on a t25/td04

With a t3 I'd say 12psi, t3/t4 go with 10psi. I'm running 10psi on my b16a w/60 trim t3 and the vafc hack, no problems for 3 years now.

A T3 63/60 flows 36lbs/min

A T3/T04B 'S'-Trim flows 37lbs/min.

Big difference.

Depends on the turbo and some other semantics. Tune has to be good of course.

The car will do 145mph + quickly and the 1/4mile in 13.6 at 112mph traps, it's a black 99'si and it rocks

Better question is how much power can you make before it breaks. If you have the right amount of fuel and a good tune then boost pressure isn't that important. Too much power will break the motor.
