How much boost is generally considered safe for-
a series 2 with GRS intercooler? its at 15psi at the minute, could i get away with a wee bit more? Oh as the car has a piper 285t2 cam, will the cam be better suited as its designed to be used with higher boost?
cheers,

well the egine and turbo are dead on as far as i know and the car has been setup as well. Was just wondering if the engine could take a couple of psi more?

What Gareth means is that if you up the boost, you need to make sure the fuelling can cope, else it will run lean and could melt something - it's not really wise to up the boost and 'see if it's okay' ....... it will have been setup for the boost it's currently running.

If the tuner has set it at that point it means that is the most boost they are prepared to run on your engine. You may be able to eek a little more out of it but it could all end in (expensive) tears 
Chat to some tuners and see what they suggest to give you that extra hit

mines similar spec running 18psi through proper fucked standard turbo
by fucked i mean play in and out and up and down and round and round. Any movement possible it does it
Still flys tho
NMS setup too
Get a proper tuner to check it out first to make sure it doesnt go BANG

I didn't run 18 on mine till I went low comp. But I know several peeps that have. Just be carefull and don't be too suprised if it does go pop at some point.
