You will most likely have to richen up the map to be safe with a full exhaust....not just at 12 psi either. The PFC base map IS leaner than the stock ecu's map at 10 psi (there are NOT two PFC base maps, any PFC shipped in the last 3-4 years has the "base mod" map).
To answer the original question, you can run up to 13-14 psi on the stock fuel system with a safely tuned car, but you will be maxing out the injectors.

7Bound: Listen to Jeff....you should not be even boosting on the base map with the T-78....you'll need to load a very safe map to start with and tune from there, starting with vacuum into low boost, before moving on to higher boost levels.
And I doubt you can run much more than 10-11 psi on the stock fuel system with the T-78.
