Default How much can I boost my car up

hey guys

I finally got my gauges in (Boost/Vacuum and Air/Fuel). I bought a greddy rs BOV with recirculation kit. I am buying the MBC tomorrow morning. I have a cold air intake but other than that my car is all stock. How much could I turn my boost up. How many PSI my car will handle without going lean on the fuel. PLease let me know.

15 is the highest you should go in terms of safety, but i believe fuel cut will not happen til 17 or 18

no its safe to set it at 15. and no, if you upgrade your turbo you will need to upgrade your fuel system to run higher psi.

i believe a stock gs-t and gsx run 6-7 if you take of the restrictor it takes it up to 8 or 9. you should be thinking about an exhaust around this time.
