how much boost is safe?
i just would like to get some opinions on what is a safe level of boost to run. its my daily driver but i dont always drive with it on the floor. heres my mods
intake, dp, mp, catback, pettit ecu, non-seq.
i have the home depot valve i have it set on 10 psi. thanks for any input, scott

Scott, with an ECU and proper tuning I'm sure the twins are easily capable of running smooth at 12 psi+, also make sure have ample fuel delivery (upgraded fuel pump and possibly injectors)

like these guys said, 12 is max while staying safe..you could run more than that but youre risking yourself a set of turbos. i think 15 psi is supposed to be the melt down point for the turbos..is this right guys?

Don't go above 12-13 psi if you want to keep your turbos in good condition. If you're not worried about them, then just make sure you have enough fuel, do some timing correction and boost those little ******* to 15 psi.
thanks for the replies guys. i was also worried that since i have a stock ic that could cause some probs. also i cant really tune anything can i? since i have the pettit its plug and go, not plug and play. i guess i will set it so it holds and 12 and minor spikes to 13.
