how much boost on b16g

[moonstation2000]

how much can i get from my b16g?
right now i have 3" exhaust, in-line fp, 6an fuel lines, upgraded side mount ic, hacked 1g maf, o2 dump tube, 450 injectors (550 ready to go in when i get a safc) etc.
i can get close to 20psi before i start to lean out (pocketlogger) on the 450's, wondering what kind of boost i can expect the b16g to handle efficiently if i feed it properly.

I'd say 23-24 ... just a guess tho. I'm thinking it's most efficient around 22.

I am at 20 psi i feel that the turbo could handle a little higher but it depends if you want to push it to its limit. I accually want to get a bigger turbo, is the 20G bolt on right up to the stock exhaust manifold, or is that the 18G?

slowboyracing.com has a 2g20g that bolts right up on your 2g DSM for $899

The Evo III 16G I have flows a bit more than a big 16G (it is probably closer to an 18G, but no one has a map to tell for sure), but with the Evo 16G, I found that I just kept on making more power if I turned the boost up. 26psi was one hell of a kick in the pants.
