I dont get it
I have had my downpipe on with my intake and exhaust and have hit 15 psi but once you guys told me to back off i have...but i still hit a little over 10 sometimes because im tryin to not run it hard...i just dont get that when i had all this on i raced my freinds trans am and took my freind and dad for a ride and ran it pretty hard, then put the boost gauge on...and the engine is fine still and it still runs really good....from what you guys have been telling me , my engine should have blown already but its running damn good...

Better to be safe than sorry. People have successfully run higher than stock boost on the stock ECU, but there are few cases of it, and most don't last very long. You're walking on very thin ice doing that. If you can prove all of us wrong, more power to you, but it's not worth the risk.

so is my engine getting damaged or will it be ok still if i dont run the hell out of it and dont go past 10 psi? and does high psi over stock settings make the engine blow? is it because the stock ecu can't handle it or what?

Can anyone think of a reason that manufactorers use fuel cut instead of ingition cut. Maybe i'm wrong but it even sounds like a stupid thing to do. Small amount of slowly dying supply of injected fuel + lots of air doesn't seem very productive to me.
