lol read the DIY somewhere on the left.. and FAQs and other posts first i think that will help... but according to most people our engines should be able to withstand a turbo without doing anything to internals.... but seems like most people say not to run more than 8 psi

I suggest you search and learn before posting or people will get on your case. You can probably run 8-11psi on stock internals.
