Tuning is the key. I've heard of 6-10psi max ran with good tuning w/o problems.

30 psi and a 150 shot of Naaawwwwsss - you'll need 2 big bottles like in Fast and Furious.

J/k

6~10 is normal, but the 10 is for a good motor that has good engine management with tuning. An FMU won't cut it for long.

LSvtec is right! With turbo cars you can always push it to the max if the tuning is on point. tuning IS the key. got a friend running 15 psi with new rods. b4 that 10psi with hondata tuning.

8 psi with that ... no problem!
Just remember to do regular maintenance.

BTW - save some money don't bother with a fuel pressure riser of any sort if you were considering one. The stock FPR will do very well.
