why would you freshly rebuild a motor with stock internals if you are planing on boost?
and everyone knows that it's not about psi it's about whp/wtq.
what turbo are you planing on using?

 

psi doesn't matter....HP kills

 

wasant planning on boost...i rebuilt this motor a couple months ago just go keep it on the road....now i have come to the conclusion that i want more....im going to be running the ss auto chrome "T3 Turbo with Garrett Internals • .42 .48 specs • T3 stage III wheel " and i just need to know a safe level of boost

 

maybe 7-8 depending on the tune and how good it is. get a base map first then get it tuned for real.

 

d15's are sketchy...

just pick up a cheap d16 and keep the d15 for insurance...

I agree i would just get a swap 1st.

ran 10psi on my D15B ran great...
but the tune is what matters... a bad tune at 6psi can blow your motor..
