32...only with rocket fuel. seriously, it depends on a lot of factors (fuel management, how you drive, if you care if it blows). Look at my post in general and check out how big your rods are, it will make you think twice

the 'savest'? wtf is that? anyways, is it gonna be stock? if its stock i would say at the most 6-7 psi but if you wanna see how fast it is crank the boost up to like 12 and see how long it lasts

Savest, as meaning "not to blow the motor". High mileage motors are bound to blow in like 3 days if you run a turbo. So there for that's why i was saying the savest.

ummm, who told you that...myself and many other users here have boosted high mileage motors with success. I personally ran 13 psi daily driven for months on my 155k y7 without blowing it

you can turbo a car with 200,000 miles on it as long as it has been cared for, regular tune ups and oil changes, and hasnt been driven like a destruction derby car! just make sure that you're not boosting a lot of psi and you have a good fuel management! my car has about 160k miles on it and i just started my hmt project 2 days ago and i dont plan on it blowing any time soon!

Much respect greddy. What are you going to turbo? Cause I'm kinda in thesame boat but I haven't started yet. But I think im just going for the whole kit.

Re:How much boost?

dude i talked to you in the chat for a couple minutes earlier (vtechatch) i personally think you should build your own kit. you'll learn so much and know how to fix it if it breaks!!!
