That all depends on if you had it pretuned by someone like Ray Locheed or not. If not, I wouldn't go over 10lbs of boost.

okay re-read your post you can run 12 to 15 psi with your set up.
the single set up is different from the twin set up.

I think one prob you'll run into is the 1200cc injectors.....the PFC will think you have 850cc's.....it might not run very well with this set up. I would send the PFC to someone and have it programed for 1200cc before installing it.

Later,
