What boost to run?

[FinalySpoolin]

I just bought a 1g talon TSI AWD, It has a 16G turbo but runs stock boost.

so I just orders a boost gauge and also a MBC so I was wondering what is the highest boos I can run with stock fuel setup.

Anyone running similar setup?

You need a datalogger or atleast an EGT before you start planning with boost. Even if someone has the exact same mods you do, there could be other unseen issues that will affect performance - so you shouldn't ask people how much boost you can run. I would bet that, assuming everything is in full working order, that you should be able to run 15psi or so safely. However, if you want to get the maximum amount of safe power out of your car, you need the proper tools.

Yah, don't go higher than 15psi to be safe. I seriously doubt your EGT's are that high, but its always better to be safe than sorry later.
