stock 1g GSX/TSI (4g63 turbo) handle?

[enve]

how much boost can a stock 4g63 motor handle? I am about to go to new york to pick up the car, and was wondering what i can turn the boost up to safely stock.

[LandoAWD]

Stock levels should be safe.

Yea, i've been researching alot lately, i'm just trying to see the most i can get outa it stock, i dont know what the boost is set at stock? 4-8 psi? i want to turn it up to 10-12 if thats what it is, maybe +2-6 psi higher then stock. trying to get more input

You can get more input, but not better input. Stock PSI depends on years.

Get:

Boost guage
Datalogger
Free mods

THEN turn the wick up once you can see what the car is doing more accurately.

Anyone who tells you to just turn it up is an assclown.

alright thanks LandoAWD, i will look into it, but, wouldnt getting a datalogger be worthless if in the future i get a ECU+ w/ laptop management because it logs all the statistics anyways? well no worthless but a waste of money and when u say free mods, do u mean the ones from DSMtuner.com? I'm about to do the stage one setup for the car within this month depending on money situation... btw, its a 92 awd turbo plymouth laser.

Supporting mods first. Don't get a logger "later" or you might be rebuilding your motor later.
