Default Boost?

New to all this RST stuff just went and got a new toy to play with has a few things done to the engine but the guy didnt have a clue whats all been done
Whats the max boost you can run with a stage 2 hybrid turbo? also 8psi is standard boost for the RST?

7-8psi is std!

stg 2 i would say is ok for 20psi!(tho no doubt people will say they have run miles more than this!) tho to be honest better off getting a bigger exh houseing for that sort of boost will give better results! plus more lag tho!

need it to be chipped before you run any more than 10psi of boost!

james_birch: CheeRS dude think it might be chipped but dont know for sure think i might take a trip to someone that knows about RST

stoo: Looks like an aftermarket one to me dont hold me to that though. its a little on the small side aswell so that maybe cumming off and a big one like what you have done if thats your car in your sig

You could travel to us if you want a Tune.

Regarding the Boost, there is no reason why the Turbo can't run 20+psi, it depends on the rest of the engine. It will probably need to be low compression and have improvements made to the fuelling system to run that kind of boost. You would also need a better Intercooler and also to know that the more boost/power you run, the higher the stakes.
