Many factors come to play. Tuning being a major part of that.

People have done 15-18psi on stock LD9's when tuning was spot on.

if money is an issue hold off til you have some.

you can never fully gauge what "boost" and engine can handle because the "Boost" will be different for different turbos etc. plus it also depends on how well taken care of the engine is.

now, i will say this for the LD9.... jay van has pushed the hell out of his for years now boosted, runs mid 12's at full weight and has over 100k on the clock. i know he takes care of it. im sure it has a lot to do with its longevity. but not only that, as john said.. the tuning needs to be there as well.



It's nice to be injected but I love being blown.
