BTW. PSI doesn't mean anything. That you ask about it shows that you haven't done any real research of your own. No one's gonna hand this one to you. Anyone that does isn't helping you either.

you have to get rid of that dx transmission, the gearing is entirely too low

7psi on a 57trim I went 14.1 @ 102 on street tires.

18psi on the same turbo I went the same time @ 115 on those same tires.

Yea, everybody starts that way lol.

FWIW, 176k on the D16Y8 and it was still pulling hard with a little GReddy kit, assuming the motor is well taken care of, and the tune is good/safe, you'll be just fine. Infact, if you're really not looking to make any particualr numbers, I'd suggest a GReddy kit if you can find one. Cheap, reliable, easy setup.
