I know Greddy comes at 5.5 and can be adjusted to 7 or something, but it will take 15 maximum after you put more $$$ into the kit.

You can go as high as 20-25lb on either one of these kits, but you have gone past the efficiency range..meaning you are not making any power due to significant backpressure. I would, however, say that the Greddy will do fine up to 12 and the Apexi IHI turbo can handle a bit more and still be within optimal efficiency. Both are great turbos, which I wished I would have purchased instead of the crappy Turbonetics that I have now.
