Wink new to the rotary seen

I've recently purchased an 88' turboII RX7, all stock. And I was wondering a few things about it. whats the higest amount of boost I can run before it damages the motor? and I also have a 90 eagle talon tsi awd , could I use the turbo off of it or the side mount intercooler on the tII. Oh the TII has 89,500 miles on it if that helps at all.

Depends. With fuel mods, people have done 20 PSI on stock blocks with stock turbos. Of course, this is really stupid and highly inefficient. It's not so much a question of "how much boost", its a question of "how much airflow" and then a question of "how much do you want to spend".

Why would you want to? But the simple answer is no. The long answer is yes, but you will need to make all new fittings, manifolds, etc. Again, why?

If you were going through all the trouble of making fittings/piping/mounts why not just buy a fmic?

I like helping people and all...but when it comes to cars (especially 7's) there's a soft spot in my heart that hurts each time someone starts looking for max boost from a turbo and overlooks the rest of the car. No offense to anyone...
