Default Turning up the boost?

If i turn the boost up from 10PSI to 14PSI on a stock B16, knowing that the horsepower not gonna go over 300whp, it should be fine right??? Im about to get a 2Bar Map Sensor.

if you up the boost, you must re-tune or it will blow up much faster then you would like.

nobody can really tell you that. Of course with a good tune the car is gonna be ok. But nobody can tell when a motor is just gonna break. Stock piston ring land are always a problem for a boosted honda

Torque is going to be so low that it'll be fine. I don't know why you're throwing 14psi at it. What turbo are you running? Is it really that small. Not that it's a problem, just wondering.

You could even do 400whp on a stock B16 cause they'll put out about the same torque an LS would at 300whp....and again torque is what matters.

oo so torque is what matters, something new i just learned, well its a gt28r turbo, it brings the torque up pretty good, my tuner said the tq is gon be between 220-230wtq, im guessing that should be fine. thanks.

The fuel and ignition maps are in place for everything under the highest PSI tuned...meaning you CAN turn it down without worry
