Default turbo and stock exhaust

i just got done turbo charging my ride with the apexi kit for my d16z6. i was wondering will it be okay for me to run on my stock exhaust for now at 5psi to i can afford a new one? if so, well it hurt anything ie...motor, turbo etc..? THANKS.

oh how do you set the psi on the internal wastegate?

You won't hurt anything with the stock exhaust except your hp/torque and spool-up time (although I really didn't feel too big of a difference when I switched from 60 mm piping back to my stock exhaust).

anything is going to be better then the stock exhaust...although you will feel a huge difference when you upgrade. as for the boost level..buy a boost controller.

Its the other way around. Easier to boost creep with open downpipe.

It should come preset already at 6 psi. If you're unsure, hook up a boost gauge.
