it matters your goals....if you want 220whp+ you are going to have to boost over 10psi....

For daily driving it's a good turbo at 7-8 psi you should be in the range of a GSR engine hp figures, but with a hell of a lot more torque

your going to melt a piston before you do anything to the rings. JE pistons is what you need.

just leave the engine if you're running low boost like that
