aellerman is an unknown quantity at this point
you must run 12psi or more if you dont want your engine and tranny to blow up

if your engine and tranny blow up in the 2001 lx's your whole car will blow up... like a bomb... 12psi or more ONLY

LMAO allerman.

smb1, It's a sage bet that you will eventually blow out your tranny. Your car should bea ble to safley run around 8 psi of boost, but you need to have the car tuned by a professional who knows what they are doing. Also you may want to invest into some synthetic transmission fluid and a transmission cooler. Your stock interals should be fine on 8 psi of boost w/ proper tuning. Also, I recomend searching before making any more posts on this subject, you wont get off as easy with other members as I have been.

Look in the Turbo FAQ. There is a link to the Turboing Auto thread, and other general "how much can I" threads....
