Agreed.

Also, I don't think there is a magical "psi" to where it should be safe. It's all in the tuning and how you drive it. Obviously pulling up a hill in 5th gear running 16psi on a T3/T4 is going to be pushing the limits of the stock motor a little bit.

i ripped on a d15b for about 8 months and it loved turbo.

my spark plug wires got in a fight with my pistons and broke some ringlands though.
