it's not worth putting on another d16 head on your block, you already have the best engine out the he D16's IMO. Only thing you can do is get a race head from Gude or exospeed.

With a good fuel system and tuned, you can boost 10 psi. But that is pushing it.

Re: (GreenD16)
keep your y8 head and 10-11 is safe with the right tuning
hell, you could blow your engine on 5 psi is you have a shitty tune or don't tune it at all.

I've seen D16s on stock internals run anywhere between 5 and 12 PSI.

Re: (MrIllegalX)
y8 already has a very good head. However you could always get your head ported/polished along with a new cam.
As for turbo... You can do 7-8psi w/intercooler daily driven with simple tuning. You can get up to 10-11psi with good tuning. Once you go past 200-210whp, then you need to start upgrading internals. Plenty of people have boosted higher, and even more people have blown their engines trying.
