Is this setup safe?

I installed my turbo XS boost controller today, and now i'm running 10psi on a stock turbo, stock intercooler and stock downpipe. You can see the rest of the setup that i have on my signature.

I just wonna know is it safe?? When i took it for a ride, i was afraid to press the acc. all the way down. So tell me what you guys think. Thanks

you might want to turn it down b4 you get some 720 secondaries...

i have 680's and i was boosting 12 psi the other night, scared the **** outta me, when a ic hose blew off... thought i blew the motor but it pulled so hard i gotta try it again hehe!

im going lower btw for normal driving 7-8 psi for daily use, and up to 12 when i get my fmic, and coolant and spark issues taken care of

id say stay around 8-9 for now, just so your not afraid of driving the stink outta it, then gradually go up after you get more fuel in there

I just recently had all 4 of my 550cc cleaned and balanced. I had setup the s-afc to run extra fuel after 3500 rpm. So i don't know if i really need 720cc.

If you want to know for sure that it's all OK, get that S-AFC properly dyno tuned. Then you;ll know your mixtures are right. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing in a modified car!

Those 550cc may be close to that 80 to 85 % zone, just throw in some 720cc's at the secondary. That poor stock turbo and manifold want's you to upgrade them I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, please ignore me

I would highly recommand a downpipe. your stock turbo and engine are going to get very hot trying to push all that air out the stock precat. however a down pipe will probably cause you to creep past 10psi...

so... I'd either lower it, or get a downpipe and see what happens, if it goes over 10, take off the TID.
