with a thicker head gasket yea 15 would probably work out and be safe....how much power does your friend expect to make or want to make?

what kind of set up will he be running. cuz 10lbs on different turbos is a big differance, but get a good tune and push what it can handle and you will be good.

Heavy foot = immature kid who will blow up his boosted little a3 in a couple weeks. id say save your time and money and trade in your car for a type s and leave it stock.
