LS <30K miles how much boost?
a friend of mine just put a turbo kit on his car, kinda small T25 but better then nothing right? How much boost approx. can he run on a stock motor, how much can he run with basic fuel system upgrade (pump/injectors) and MSD???

Don't worry about the boost level.
Keep it under 300 horsepower for the MOST longevity - and make sure it it properly tuned.
But on a t25. . . 7-9 psi would be a pretty safe area to hang out - but you can argue it both ways.
People blow up making less power - and some people do fine with more.
It comes down to your comfort level. Daily driver. . . may want to keep it turned down pretty low.
Either way, good luck

Re: (DragSource)
yeah i know Xpsi doesnt = X hp but the reason im asking is that the closest dyno is over seas so making 300hp doesnt mean much... but thanks 7 to 9 on the 100% stock motor?

from my personal experience...
ive been boosting .6 bar (8.7) psi for a year now. Compression tests last week showed me my motor is taking it like a breeze. So im going to retune to .7bar (10.1 psi). Because i am confident as long as its a conservative tune, 10 psi is cake for the b18b.

yea and the t25 is rather small, so im sure you can run a few more pounds.
id say go for 10-11 at first
