alright ill break this down for you:

1) Do you have any other internally "mods" done to your d16z6 besides the arp and head gasket?

2) Don't go by, "how much boost" or "how many pounds can i run" you need to figure out an actual power goal that you want out of the motor respectively and run enough "boost" to hit that power goal.

3) What turbocharger did you choose?

4) has the vehicle been tuned since you turbocharged it? whats the compression ratio? whats the actual compression of all 4 cylinders? how is the overal condition of the engine (leaking or burning any oil/coolant)

I honestly think its funny that so many people post bolts for mods, such as ARP hardware. I dont really consider it a mod
