Re:HOW MUCH BOOST???

All depends on engine management, Not how many miles, not what kind of turbo, its all in how well its tuned. I think the most stock sleeves can take is around 14-16psi, but thats really pushing it. A realisitic # is 10-12psi. Keep reading through our forum

Re:HOW MUCH BOOST???

I would highly suggest tuning on a dyno with wideband to get your A/F's dead on, before you start to bring the boost up.

People dont understand how tuning is so important, and if you want it to last, its really the only way.
