it all depends on how much boost you run and if you're going to build up the bottom end first. another important factor is to upgrade the fuel side. considering you want to run on stock internals, dont run more than 7 or 8 psi but you're still gambling on whether you blow it or not. upgrading the fuel stuff is a must and i suggest building up the bottom end to handle the boost if you want to make sure you dont blow your engine.

You should be safe to run 7PSI just fine. As you build up the motor then you can start running up to 10PSI and higher.

Most important thing to watch with turbo (or any FI) = a/f gauge.
Go lean and melt your engine into the oilpan. Correct me if im wrong on this issue. |
