The timing belt will actually snap at exactly 9psi....so I'd be careful.

If tuning is perfect, your belt won't snap. I wouldn't be so sure about the radiator tho.

turbo got absolutly 0% to do with a timing belt. You might want to worry about the internal parts of the engine.

it depends... did you install the timing belt correctly? tie each end of the belt to each side of the intercooler. this should hold the intercooler in the proper position so you can boost up to 12lbs safely.
