20psi ??
When i accelerate, in 1st, 2nd, i hit 15psi, too risky pushing it over that, 3rd about 18psi and 4th, 5th i can boost to 20si?? Is that right? Ive got a standard intercooler, but its chipped. Could it just be my clutch slipping, broken boost gauge or it can reach that on standard intercooler. I thought the highest you can hit is 15psi.

The head gasket blew, but didnt bother me as i was stripping it soon. It lasted about 4 months with a bit of thrashing here and there. I just didnt know if you could hit 20psi with standard I/C.
Ta for the replys though.
