huge custom side mount dent
It looks like you've got the fuel for all the stock turbo could handle. Since you said "safely" I will say 12#. I think there are people running 14/15, but I don't think the turbo would last long. Besides that's over what the stock IC was designed for, from what I've read. Combined with the extra heat being generated by the turbo running past it's efficiency would seemingly lead to problems. Augment with H2O inj. maybe? Cheaper than a FMIC?

I do, in fact, have a front mount! Check out the sig one more time. Whoever you know that is running 14-15 psi on a stock intercooler with just a pump and s-afc won't be driving that car very muchm longer. Anyone know how much I can safely run with my mods + 720 secondaries?

If you're on the stock turbo, my answer would be the same. The FMIC will help save the engine not the turbo.
Sorry I missed that in your sig. Just trying to help and I get attitude. Whatever, good luck bud.

ya the turbo is efficent after like 12-14psi. or something like that like you could crank the boost up to 18-19 but you aren't going to be making anymore power than you would at say 13psi.

Think about it - the stock boost controller only "reads" up to 15psi. if you run higher, the ECU has no idea you're running any more boost.
On the same lines, whats the max boost that the Stock fuel system can handle? I heard anywhere from 8-10.

I was looking for 8 PSI now, on the stock pump and injectors, then I was gonna shoot for 10 with 720 secondaries and a Walbro. Which is about as far as I wanted to take it.
I am just worried that the installation of my mid and downpipe will cause me to get boost creep. The wastegte isnt ported.

I know the boost controller is a fancy series5 gizmo, but I was unaware that the ecu would react to levels of boost over 8.6pounds by changes in the injector duty cycles/timing and what not.
well with a factory fcd of 8.6 pounds I would at or below that on the stock system with a fuel pump rewire. Sure the ecu runs rich on our cars so you could run probably 10 and maybe even 11 pounds of boost, but for how long? In my experience walbro(rewire if you want) + fcd is good for up to 12 pounds on stock IC.

No need for 720s at 12 pounds of boost?
With my thunderfab dp/mp and cone filter I was running a max of about .7bar or just a little over it. I think you could get away without a ported wastegate fine.
