Hey folks this is my first post. I really need help. I'm hoping to boost my 97 lude by this summer, but I really wanna make sure it's the right choice. I'm a collage kid so this shit is expensive, and i wanna make sure im doing it right.
Right now im looking at either the F-max kit, or the Grag gen III. These things come with the FMU regulators, and the fmax comes with the MSD detonation killer too. With this setup, should i be able to install and run on stock internals @ 7psi? I really wanna do some serious work, but more than that i don't wanna blow my motor, as my parents helped pay for half the car, and they dont really know about the turbo. Please gimme some good advice, and If you have a prelude, moreover a 5th gen, youre a pimp. Peace, please any advice would be good. Ill be postin on here a lot so hopefully you can keep from getting annoyyed be me! Again, peace folks.

taking shot in the dark...but 7psi sounds just about right
i wouldn't push more than 9psi on stock internals
but i'll look into it for you. :)

i looked around a couple other places and forums, and everyone who's running on stock internals are running in the 6-8 range.
One guy's pushing 9 w/upgraded (thicker) gasket
i'll post more info as i find it.
