Well, start with like 5 or 6 P.S.I and work your way up. After you blow your engine, you know you've gone too far and you should only run it a few P.S.I lower than that .

PS - For real though, I have no idea, sorry

It means he better post a *shitload* more details of the setup, otherwise any advice offered will be tainted with disinformation.

I was looking at that earlier and I was like WTF Steve?

But I understand now LOL

Thats like saying I go 0-60 without specifing how long it took. Im sure the space shuttle goes 0-60 in 1 nano second but ... anyways...

Safe boost would be around 5 inches of vacuum...

I could detonate at 10" vacuum

The turbo on an SVO is a T3 with a .63 A/R exhaust housing... would be rather small for a 12A, I'd think. You can get .82 exhaust housings from Turbonetics for a couple hundred bucks. But you'd still have the small T3 compressor side.
