Default How much boost?

I have rebuilt my rst engine using new .5 mahles, balanced bottom end with new bolts, shells etc. I have also fitted a big valve p/p head. I am using a grs front mount and a hybrid t3. When the engine is run in and set up will it be possible for me to run 20 psi on standard comp?maybe with water injection? cheers lads.

yes, as long as the fuel is there. You shouldn't need water injection with a grs front mount.

I had mine running at 22psi on a slightly higher spec than yours and it made 260bhp on standard comp

Do you have a performance cam, 5th injector ?

Hope that helps, Duncan
