no, b18c5 isn't a boost engine. best engine to 'boost' stock would be the b18b1

stock internals? if you consider 7psi...yeah it can take alot

general rule...don't exceed 10 psi on stock stuff w/ out extensive dyno tuning with an adaquite fuel system....

we do have a forced induction forum here too.
