you need to lower your compression to prevent detonation on that engine. then you are safe to 7-9 psi, which should yield plenty of horses.

Stock 10:1 compression and any turbo kit is fine to 10 psi. If you're running a good aftermarket EMS and a good tuner you can run atleast 2 bar, if not more, on 93 octane with 10:1 compression.
