You don't want to run 14psi unless you've upgraded a few things on your car.... Your car should make 5-6psi, but being its cooler out now you'll make more hp/boost.....Watch that boost. To make things safe you need a better fuel pump, larger injectors, FCD, etc. The people running 14psi on a stock turbo are running those turbos on deaths door and just making the intake temps dangerously hot. I'd stay in the 8-11psi with what you have but change the items I listed....
