    If you aren't going to have the emanage installed then how do you expect to get the car tuned and running properly. Doesn't sound like you read much of anything that's been posted already...and this is coming from someone who is still learning :|

    my motor is still holding strong at 14psi with methanol and a proper tune. my tranny has no problems either. i wouldnt go any more than that though. im waiting to blow something up to swap out the tranny with a 5-speed. as long as it holds up, its stayin. i baby it most of the time though :?

    is your motor still stock though or do you have some work done>?

    He's stock ... and i'm running 8-12 psi on a stock motor as well. IMO you are in way over your head right now and should probably do some more researching about what you are about to undertake or else you will realize very quickly it's not as simple as pistons, rods, turbo.

    He just did. He could give you a long ass list about parts and you could still blow your engine because you didn't do your homework.
