Default Escort zvh is it ok

Hey fellas and gals.

I've got a mk6 escort zvh and been reading the forum. Anyways mine is currently running 21 psi of boost and running spot on plus needless to say it's very very quick even scary quick. The question is, is it too much I've read 10 psi 12psi etc but mine is at 24 spike and holds a 21 psi. It's spec is stage 3 head, pully, stage 3 hybrid turbo with a cossy compressor front mount 3" down pipe injectors and fule pump. All I'm asking coz I know there's loads of threads is, is it safe to run it like this? Cheers guys n gals

Take it too a rolling road for a safety check, it will save your engine if there is a problem

Yeh it's the red one. And yeh was bodged but I've sorted all the very poor work out and now she's spot on. The only reson I've asked is purely because I hear ppl sayin 12 psi etc. plus the cars sometimes smells of petrol alltho it's very few and far between. One more thing it always stalls in revers gear??? Don't know why and no it's not my driving ha ha.



One more question why does the oil catch tank keep filling up?

Thanks guys
