Default Safe to Turbo with a Blockguard?

I have a 2000 Gs-R and I just had the piston rings replaced. It's basically a stock engine (stock head, stock block..).

I want to boost it up to 300whp NOTHING more. The thing is it has a blockguard that the previous owner had installed.

The turbo I plan on running is T3/T4 57 trim, .63 a/r exh, .50 a/r comp. I will be using 440cc injectors, 255 lph fuel pump, log manifold..

Is this safe to run this setup with the block guard on?


Thx,

Heather

I read that the sleeves start shifting at around 14 psi but I guess this could vary with the size of the turbo

Yes it would vary with the size of the turbo. Take into account compression as well.
