You could boost as much as you want with proper fuel management and as long as your motor can handle it. Those guys that told you 13-14 psi max are retarded.

first of all don't take anything people from other boards say about turbo's seriously because if they knew anything they would be here..
second, what the hell are you gonna put 13/14psi into? maybe okay with a donut sized VW turbo...

they may have been telling you what is safe or something. Sure you can boost yout motor/turbo to 30 psi. DOes that mean it will hold up You would want to realize the limits of a stock N/Afirst off and secondly you also wanna know what psi your turbo will start losign effectiveness at. So yeah you can boost that ---- as high as you want, but that doesnt mean it will last
