[belzebub2u]

heya guys, i have a turbo and i want to know how much hp/tq i can boost up too before my engine Xplodes on me. . lol, anyone have any solid numbers?

to keep it reliable, i think its 6-9PSI. if you don't mind your car popping in 10-20,000KM's then try for 10-12...

vague #'s off the top of my head. Too lazy to look up more info and link it. Try the search function. /slap.

425-450 is considered the safe limit. some have gone more, some less with failures. you need to have a great tune for more power. have a very experienced and reliable tuner tune the car.

Like bigcat said, it's all about the tune. What kills most engines is detonation, which is more likely to happen with higher boost. A good tuner will be able to eliminate detonation at higher boost levels. A car is only as reliable as its tune.

sweet

the tune is no problem, i have my car tuned at Modular Powerhouse (now MPH) so i know the tune will be safe and right on!! so its time to up the boost a little. . maybe 9.5 psi would be fun!! P.S. yes i tried the search function. . didn't find what i was lookin for really (yeah, maybe im inept at /search but hey.. im pretty not smart!!)
