Default What do I need to add to my B16 t/c to safely turn up boost?

Just like the title says. What do I need to do to my B16 so I can safley turn up the boost without breaking anything?

What is usually the highest amount of boost you can run on stock and modified B16's? As you can tell Im new so please, the more information you can provide me the better! Thanks alot.

not just new...stronger forged rods and lower compression pistons...maybe 10:1 depending on how much you plan to boost.

thats what i meant, and i wouldnt go with 10:1 pistons, i would advise to go with something in the 9:1-9.5:1 range there is less chance of detonation/pre-ignition...
