6-8 safe. running 10 on stock internals

more than 10 is like a hit or miss. Some people can get away with it, others cant. Ive heard of people running more. Its a matter of how much of a chance you wanna take. Over 10 is a gamble for sure. If you have an inconsistency here and there, stock internals will not be very forgiving. I bet if you pulled half the stock motors apart running 12+ psi daily you would find hairline cracks on the ringlands here and there. Even though the motors are still running fine there could be minor problems like this that may go unnoticed for a year or maybe only for an hour. How is your luck these days??? lol

Yeah ten would be the highest i would go on stock internals. to me anywhere from 0-10 safe with good tuning and good setup

My car seems to looooooove 10psi. It drives like a dream. Well, somewhat. I could use much more power. But it still drives nice, almost nicer than stock. My car shifts 100x's better than it did stock since with the turbo. Im not sure why, its just super super smooth. Im not sure what my new clutch will feel like though. Ill find out later. hehe

9-10psi daily for well over 1 year

boosting safely depends on your set-up

I'm running 5 psi currently but plan to run 8-10 psi after i get it tuned.

A good set up can be almost just as bad in some cases. However, I'm not in any way saying that having your car optimumly tuned is bad in any way. In my situation I had overkill on everything. I made enough HP on only 10 psi to stretch the rod bolts and spin rod bearings.
