Engine blowing is not dependent on amount of boost but how much power you're making. I say with good fuel management 200whp would be all I would push a D as a daily driver. Some have gone beyond this but problems will eventually come up.

djfob answered that pretty well. Somewhere along 10 psi would be the farthest I'd go.

LOL, yes listen to Chris ^^^ 15psi with no management.


Seriously though man, you have to do a search. That question has been asked sooo many damn times. Guys here will flame you just for asking that. It really comes down to tuning. Do a search.

ya lets tell a newbie things to do when its totally fucked up, listen bro most 1.6l d series and 1.5's can take 200 whp fine all day long so pretty much any decent turbo on 10 lbs max tuned if u want it to be reliable, 200whp is around 220-230 to the crank. keep it safe bro.

only reason why we tell him to do that ---- is because he didnt search and were tired of seeing that damn questoin... "how much boost can it handle, what size turbo should i use, where can i get a bov, do i need a bov?" all those ------ questions are annoying.
