I looked into this mate there are a few that are running over 20 psi but you will need to have bigger intercooler.dont just turn it up as it will blow get it checked over by a tuner..
also is car chiped if not u wont run no more than 10psi or it will cut out...
aint seen you around i only live in gorleston

guys when they say 10psi max boost...is that the peak figure or the held boost? as mine peaks at about 8-9psi and holds about 6psi...maybe 5 lol but i dont trust my gauge as it rests on about 1psi any way lol
thanx

On a standard intercooler, no more than 13-14psi mate, i ran 14 psi on a standard intercooler, still quick, but not efficent, get a pace and u can run a bit more providing its chipped!

get it set up right with a uprated intercooler or charge cooler and you see 190-200bhp on 18psi max for standard compression anymore and should see a blown engine not long after

16psi with a standard intercooler is probably okay in winter but once it gets a hot in the summer (if we do see summer this year) it'll run very hot. I dont think 22psi would last on standard compression and even if you were running that kind of power you will need a 5th injector or efi management for anything over around 210bhp
