ive got the rps13 motor, blitz intake, hks exhaust, everhting else is stock, running 8psi now.

whats the max SAFE point of boost for that motor/turbo?!

some people say 12, so if i go from 8 to 12, how much of a rwhp gain is that ROUGHLY?!

depending on what you have done to the motor, you can boost more or less.sounds like you shoudln't be boosting much now.

If you are running the side mount intercooler you can go no higher than 10. The stock turbo is good for 14 but you will need a front mount, blow off valve boost controller, and a fuel pump would be a good idea if you dont want to destroy your motor. If you want to run 20psi then you will need a head gasket.
