you can run about 10-11 psi with an upgraded fuel pump (~$130). You can also do the TID mod. With full exhaust and intake you can definitely achieve your goal.

Oh yeah, if you're worried about the mileage, do a compression check. 85 is the minimum at sea level, and 125 is perfect.

So if you think youe in danger of blowing the motor dont
do it. Simple as that. obviously if you push the car especially with high mileage **** is bound to happen.
My T-II it has over 140,000 miles on it and, I drive the car pretty hard its a daily driver, and im on the car 24/7.
But I also maintain the car. Just to let you know my T-II has full exhaust (Racing Beat) and all the other bolt ons that go in sequence when your upgrading your turbo2.
It all comes down to maintenance.
