Hey I have a 97 gsx auto and i just got a boost controller and boost gauge and i was wondering how high i can up the boost on the stock turbo and run it everyday without blowing it? :dsm:
 
after 15 psi you are just blowing hot air.
 
I also have a Apexi twin chamber Bov-will that matter- what should i boost at to get good SAFE performance-0 I cant afford a new turbo right now :dsm:

EDIT: you mite wanna do the free mods and upgrade intake/exhaust before u really start upping the boost, it'll flow better once u eliminate the restricted stock exhaust. get some 3in pipes and ur on ur way...
