i've seen 13 psi on a stock block B16. Make sure you have a real fuel management system and real tune before you try anything.

boost is all in the tune. Someone could run 8psi and have no tune or a shitty tune and screw the motor up not long down the road. Another person could have hondata and have a dyno tune by a good local tuner and run 15psi perfectly fine.
