I have a t3 turbo with a stock engine and a fmu 12:1. Yea i know its running rich, but thats all i have untill i get some 370cc injectors and a 255 fuel pump. I have a xs power turbo and external waste gate. I was just wondering how high could i take my boost and be safe. Im pushing five psi right now, but i want to push ten. If i turn my boost up to ten and im getting plenty fuel could i hurt anything.

do u have a wideband to monitor? I would keep upping it till your afr's look bad. Honestly u should just wait, dont wanna end up with a set of detonated pistons!

What kind of wideband? AT 10psi you should be retarded at least 3 degrees off base timing to be safe. At 10psi and stock timing if you get some crappy 93 gas your engine can go boom. KA-T lasting is all about the tuning.

Its probably not even running rich.. Get rid of the stock fuel pump for a Walbro 255.. I wouldn't even boost on a stock fuel pump.. Esp not on a FMU setup where fuel pressure is vital..
