Add a GRS front mount intercooler, bin the filter for a standard airbox, chip it and run 16psi and you will have around 170 - 180bhp

just need a nice chip, set up and -31 actuator, with a front mount, youd be getting close to 200 bhp depending on how healthy your turbo is

I thought 14psi was about the max you can use on standard pistons.

The pistons will handle 16/17psi

My brothers FRST was peaking at 22psi and holding 19psi on stock pistons with no bother at all for almost two years. Only reason it's apart now is for a freshen up but everything was still good when it came apart.

Wouldn't recomend running at these levels though
