This isn't a Supra....

Unless you have an aftermarket ecu, you boost 10 psi and that's that. With an ecu, you should be able to boost 13 psi or so with relatively safety. Anything above that should be accompanied by fuel system upgrades.

Seriously. Like I said before... Keep it at 10. You'll get to enjoy the car a few days more.

there is none. There are no bpu FDs. that is supra terminology.

usually you just say "intake, dp, high flow, cb" or "intake, front mount, pfc, dp, mp, cb"

bpu is too vague. vagueness is not good, esp on a car that becomes more temperamental and finicky the more you mod it........
