Safe boosting?
I am getting close to being able to install me turbo setup now and i have a couple questions. First is how much boost can i safely run on my B16A2 with stock internals? it will be a daily driver and i want it to last. well last untill i get all the new internals bought so i can rebiuld it and make it stronger. My second question is should i get an oil restictor right away before i do my install or should i wait and see how it is once i install my setup? If i do get a restrictor right away how do i know where to set the valve on it? i am looking at the one on the stealthmode site. any help would be great and thanx in advance guys.

Beating my D15b7 on 12 psi daily 
Too bad its still slow with such a small turbo :P
I would run it without a restrictor 1st, lots of cases you dont even need one, if you do just tap out the -an fitting and locktite a set screw in there, drill a small hole in the set screw and you have a restrictor that cost you 14 cents instead of $14.

stock block b16's have held 500+, i dont think you need to worry about low psi #s as long as you have a good tune...
get a nice t3/t4 hybrid and rock that ---- as high as you can on stock map sensor, get a good tune and you wont have to worry.

Re: Safe boosting?
Well my only worry is that there is no one near me than tunes. so i dont know what to do about that. i dont know enough about tuning to do it myself. i mean i have a base map made already but i still dont have even close to enough experience to actually tune it right. i mean i looked in the crome tuner directory and i didt see anyone listed in Wisconsin at all. i guess i will cross that bridge when i come to it.
