Default How much boost non-intercooled?

Well, I am about a week away from completing my turbo setup ... sans intercooler. Running low on funds, and I want a Spearco, but I might end up going with a Starion IC to save cash.

Thing is this ... since I will have everything, I think I might put it all on, and just put a straight pipe where the IC will go until I decide (and can afford) what to do on that. I'll have a T3/4 and a Tial running the small spring (4 something PSI?). I assume that should be safe without an IC? What do you guys think? Can I crank it up any or is it too dangerous?

its front mount pretty decent size. I boost on it for while back in the day. it held good for around 12-15psi not bad in my opinion.

Hey that's cool man. Last time I went over to Kennedale but those guys had a bunch of junk. If you can get them for a good price let me know for sure. Like I said, I like the Spearco, but the Starion is plenty big and nice looking too if they're not all bashed up.

Here's a nice one:

Now who would buy that, I don't know. Hell, I still can't figure out why those guys thought they could sell it for anything!
