6 psi will be fine on your stock block. HOwever, anything is possible and you can always blow anything up. Make sure your engine is healthy. You'll need to have your ecu chipped, and then you can run a few different programs. Some free, some a little, and some a lot of money. Just run uberdata, chrome, or one of those.

I've done 15 psi on my stock block with a t3/t4 for almost two years now. It's all in the tune. I just recenlty boosted my daily four door, with a tdo5h, tiny turbo, its at like 8, which after 15 on my bigger turbo is small time I didn't upgrade injectors or fuel pump for this, just bumped it up to premium. My air fuels are safely rich, so i don't really see a need to upgrade the injectors right now. Mine is just setup for 5 thousand and less, i can go higher, but i'm just boosting this car for a tad more power. I'll leave the major fun for my track car.

not to sound like a dumbass but you said my engine needs to be healthly? cuz mine has 160000 miles on it so does that have a effect on turboing it? It still is running strong i dont dog it to bad.
