how much boost can I run?
I did an ls/vtec in my del sol, its stock accept for mild p&p and type r cams
I'm getting ready to boost it and just wanted to know how much boost it could take without blowing it?
I have a s.s. header
20g turbo from my friend bike that he was boosting to 30-35 psi ( been rebuilt)
missing link
delta wastgate
fmu ect...
it a 95 b18b with 95 sir head if it helps
I don't know a lot about ls/vtec all help would be great!

exactly 8.79psi. 
each engine is different dude, and you will have to get yours tuned just like everybody else does, and different engines can hold different amounts of boost. with the FMU setup, i wouldnt run much more than maybe 9psi (40ish base psi fuel pressure + 12x9psi=a lot of fuel pressure going thru stock injectors, assuming ur FMU is 12:1), and you gotta keep an eye on ur boost guage with the deltagate, they have been rumored to creep... good luck on the rest of your setup.
