How much boost can this cars take and still be safe not to blow up your motor asuming you have intake, all exhast sytem,550cc injectors and fuel pump on 92 octane gas,blitz blow off valve, letes say with a 20g turbo. Ime just asking I know they prity strong motors but people here that dont like mitsubishi say the most they take is 17-18 pounds and know they can probably take more withought having to worry about a blown motor.

I ran 26 lbs on a garret L2R ball bearin on 94 octane for almost 6 months then i sold the car to my friend and he still drives it and its fine. He kinda prefers less boost though.(He's weird )Oh yeah it was a 95 TSI AWD. I rewired the fuel pump,air filter, 2.5 downpipe,2.5 high flow cat, Greddy evo catback, profec b and a type-s BOV

well.... with the 16g and 550's i can run 22 psi using the s-afc but thats REALLY pushing it, also wut kinda intercooler u have would help because u don't wanna be pushing hot air back into the engine

17-18 will give u some real problems with peeling ur back off the seat though

Hey red Tsi I will be geting a hks front mount intercooler with this is it posible to run 13's on 17 pounds of boost.

if ur half way good at driving(which u probly are) and the car is tuned correctly ( i use the s-afc) and have a clutch that holds then i'm sure its VERY possible

BTW- i hope ur not looking at alot of boost without alteast 550's
