Talking How much boost can my 13b run?

I have stock rotors but I have a steel turbo, I have 15 psi but how much can my car handle without being unreliable?

That all depends on how long your piece of string is.

But Turbo IIs detonate over 9psi with a stock intercooler and turbo setup.

And other people are running 30+psi on stock FD blocks and Q16.

How long is that piece of string? Not all 13Bs or turbos or fuels are the same.
