i'm not quiet sure but on a stock engine i think you can run up to about 12pounds

but if you went to the forced induction forum youd get more and better feed back!!!

stay away from ssautochrome extremely bad rep here in HT and for good reason. are u looking for a kit or are u looking to piece one together for yourself? if ur looking for a kit, i think the greddy or edelbrock kits are some good options. just ordered the edelbrock kit for my si, so well see how that works out.
*btw, u should have posted this in the forced induction forum, not here*

Dnt speak.
You can run 12 psi, but not for long, and seeing that your stock map sensor will only read 10. something psi. Also do stay away from ebay turbo kits. Depending on what you are looking for out of the car, would determine what turbo route to go.

LOL...just like dustin...I hope it becomes a classic!

Yeah, so far no one said anything even remotely correct except that a stock map sensor will only see 10PSI. Look at the FAQ (first post in FI). This thread is doo doo and I hope someone locks it. I like cheese. Goodbye
