umm well probly not more then 6 to start off, if your using the stock map sensor, then I doubt you can go higher then 10, chip your ecu with a 3bar GM map sensor and hit 12-15, if your crazy.

I run 11 to 12 on my stock d16 with no intercooler. I was running 12psi daily on my GSR also. If I had a built motor I wouldn't even use a wastegate
