mini me turbo would kick *** itr's have high compression but still boostable as long as you get some bomb *** fuel managment and tuned youll be fine always run the highest octain on pump gas when force enducted and as for psi there are many variables to think about so i can really say maybe safly 9psi maybe more so dont quote me on that

What do you think the answer to your question is going to be? Have you checked the name of the site and the forum you're in? Boost my friend!!. It's an addiction. Once you have it, you want more and more. My JDM GSR has a 10:5 comp and I'm boosting 8Psi intercooled and with Hondata and 440cc RC injectors. So far I've been Pimpin'it without a problem on 93 octane

I'm boosting 12psi on a 11.4c/r Ls/vtec

Fuel/Spark management is everything
