That's a good plan, but you must remember to make the motor run alittle richer and retard the timeing more when crank the boost.

Even running lower boost though, you're still exposing the ehads to tremendous amount of heat that they where not desinged for unless you have a massive intercooler. The best to run that kind of a set up is to put a thermcouple between your heads and intake manifold and watch the temperature when your driving around before you put the turbo on, then do it agian once you've got the turbo on. Of course you'll have to have a seperate reader that you can watch insdie the car. keep lowering the boost until the temperature of the intake is only about 10% higher than stock. This takes lots of time to do because once the car heats up to normal, if it is to hot, you must cool the car down agian, lower the boost and try agian. The idea is that you're using the intercooler to bring the temperatare clost to normal agian, so the large intercooler you have, the more boost you can run using this method.

Then, like you said, crank up the boost to higher limit during track days or what ever you want it for.

Anouther really good upgrade is water to air intercooler, almost double the effeciency of the intercooler, thus you can run higher boost and still stay within your 10% temp rise.
