Using the search feature might tell you something like 8-10psi. Using what you get from this post, I'd say you're safe running about 1 pound as well.

or maybe its .025% of the therotical boost that is determined from the point it takes you to click on the search feature / the newbie posts - the coords of X and Y at point X = 858 and Y = 185

at that x Y coordinate you will find something useful.

10 lbs is good enough. dont boost more than 15 lbs or you might blow your motor.

10 pounds on 10:1 compression that is pushing it hardcore don't ya think? Most LS guys will run 10psi occationally on a stock bottom end. And LS runs like 8:1 or so.

DRAG recommends no more than 8psi on a stock engine using their FMU. As long as your tuned, you should be fine.

no amount of boost is safe.. period.

if your worried about it blowing up and you dont have the money to fix it.. might i suggest a CAI header and exhaust and some stickers.... that's a safe bet...

I'm willing to bet almost everyone here has blow something up with their turbo or supercharger.. it's not only a right of passage but destined to happen some time in your turbo life...

it's not a question of whetehr or not it will blow up, more like when....

My two cents, 6 PSI daily driven, and turn it up to 8 PSI if you go to the track..

Superhonda.com is back online, which means less remarks like the one above. You guys are very rude.

BOOST is NOT for someone who wants to play it safe.... with performance.. if your that worried about it or can't afford to fix it should you do like some of us... and blow your **** up 15 seconds later on a test run down the street cause a fuel line popped off or a vacume line came off and the turbo spooled to death... then take your minimum wage earning, paranoid as hell butt back to SHO...

if you want to play with boost.. you got to be ready to pay for it with your wallet!!!

"Boost" "safe" and "reliability" should not be used in the same scentance.... PERIOD

I think he only had the motor running 15psi for a week until he blew the motor. Or was it 2 weeks? =P

From what you hear huh? You do not even know me. You and your thirty four posts can go away as far as I am concerned. I know Turbo EG6, so you can just shut it.

Personally, I am sick of people like you ruining this site. Begone.

Only WE are allowed to call dustin a punk...

You obviously don't know much about it.... cause he would help anyone anywhere with their car, even in the middle of the damn night when he SHOULD be asleep... over the phone....

so take your dumb *** comments remarks and posts and go back to whatever board you came from...
