You can root your engine on 6PSI if you run heaps of timing and no intercooler. Having seen UA's car I'd take Ryan's offer any day of the week if I had my time again. Looks the goods!
My car has 225000 on it now and doesn't blow a wiff of smoke, on 8 PSI.
I need a better fuel pump before I go higher than that.

If it's tuned well there is absolutely no issue running mid teens boost levels. Remeber than you do't actually run the MAXIMUM boost level every time you drive it, I could drive my (ex) turbo mx5 to and from work without mustering more then 4-5psi, even when the controller was set to 16... It's only when you mash the throttle that it sees big boost.

Are you in Brisbane at the moment? It's come time to pull the blower off and replace with a snail. Motec, injectors, fuel pump ect are already done. Want to run 12-15psi on the stock 1600.
