Best PSI level for B20B?
I have done some research and came up with this... 6-8 is safe. 10 is almost maxing it. Anything over 10 is hell. I want to tune for track, but mostly street. I know the sleeves are very weak, a 84mm bore. What do u think?

B20turbohic is running 14-16psi daily with Zdyne.... suck it! (to nobody in general haha ) Its all about the tunning, that is for sure. BTW he laid down about 300whp I believe.

Different turbo's make different amounts of power at the same pressure (boost) setting.
A t25 @10psi will make say 200whp while the same set-up and engine with a sc-61 will make 260hp at 10psi. Boost pressure is a measure of resistance.
With a tiny turbo you can run 15psi all day long, but try runnig 15psi on a big turbo your going to stress the motor more because your making a lot more power.
Look at dyo charts of various set-ups. Take a gs-r for instance I see a lot of gs-r's with the average t3t4 making about 260whp with 10psi, I also see a few gs-r's (tuned the same) making 300+ hp @10psi with larger sc-61 turbo's.
big turbo = large flow, large flow = power
small turbo = less flow, less flow = less power
more power = more stress, more stress = more wear, more wear = deminished life of said parts...
In a nutshell........
.i'm going to bed now this proabably makes no sense since I'm doing 10 things at once and typing 90million miles per hour..

makes perfect sense.
topic of the page says how much boost...well different cars actually put out different power with the same turbo, you could just have a different setup (bigger exhaust, wastegate, intercooler, etc). So, many things can make one car more stronger then the next. You could even have the exact same setup and have different numbers. the question you should be asking is....how much "power" not how much "boost"...you can run 20 psi and be safe on a small *** turbo and turn around and run 20psi on a big turbo and your gonna blow the **** up. Also, tuning is the #1 factor to all of this....make sense?
