How much boost can I run

hello

I would like to know your oppinion,
I have a stock 6port, turbocharged.
Currently Im running 460's on the primary and 550's on the secondary, at 3 psi boost...NO intercooler, and 98 oct gas.(europe)
But I have 1000cc's coming in next week for secondary...
so the 550's will go to primary!
My question is, how much boost can I run with this combo. : 550's primary, 1000's secondary, NO intercooler, 98 octane gas.
Thanking you in advance..

G

LOL! I bet that thing is a rocket even with just a couple psi.

Is there no way to fit any intercooler in there?

find a way to intercool it and turn up the boost. but if you can't then get water/alky injection as that should cool off your intake temps and egts.

If he was running all methanol, he could run as much boost as his fuel system would allow and no intercooler would be needed.

I'd like to see a pic of the engine! If i remember correctly , werent thw 12A turbos made without intercoolers ? I think you would have to keep the tune on the rich side (10-10.5 a/f ratios ) with very little ignition timing.

I'll take some pic's later today...

I'm leaning towards the methanol inj. as for the cooling..
I'll get it to a dyno first thing ..and then we'll see about the methanol inj.
I have a short clip of it on the hi-way...dont know how to post it..
This weekend I'll be getting more clips..
