Safe boost for built b16a3

i got a built b16a3 del sol. I have forged rods and pistons and a block guard. Does anyone know what would be a good boost setting to run?

Exactly, please don't make the mistake of having your 'tuning' done by people on a computer in god knows where, rather, one hooked up to your car and a dyno.

because not every motor is the exactly the same even with similar setups. any advice anyone gives you on the net is just speculation and theory, and personally i wouldn't take that kind of risk.
