Posted by Ruben Lopez, Mar-10-03 10:54 AM
how much boost can i run safely w/ the star stage 1, 310cc injectors, no intercooler. how much with a sidemount? i have a turbo xs manual b.c. is that reliable enough to maintain safe boost? And has anybody had custom intercooler piping done? how much?

with no IC, keep it at 5psi. with an IC, 8psi should be doable with the larger injectors, but dont go any higher unless you wanna chance some cracked ring lands.
