maybe 12-14lbs with the best damn tuning ever

reliably i'd say 10lbs

realistically i'd say 7-8lbs

I think the B7 is stronger than most people give it credit for. I raped my B7 with a MINIMUM of 10psi on a daily basis. I ran it at 14 psi for a while with no problems(except traction :roll: ). What will you be using for fuel management and what sized turbo? That will determine what a safe boost level would be. I'm not scared to boost a B7. 8)

As far as fuel management. I havent gotten that far yet. I am considering Hondata. The turbo is a TD04L from an 02 WRX with 8,000 miles. It runs 9 psi. stock( I think)lol.

If you're thinking Hondata, I would say 15 psi shouldn't be a problem. Hondata is good shit. Expensive, but good. :?
