hmmm- well, go to a dyno and tune 6 psi. you should be happy with it then, tho boost >6psi and you will disintegrate your lil d15 rods.

What are you using as a fuel managment?

I'm guessing he is running no fuel management and right on the border line of blowing the shit out of his ringlands.

Your pistons hate you right now. :?

I have a jdm d15vtec...sorry had! i ran 9 psi on it daily, with no double head gasket too... with the additional head gasket for lower compression i dont see why, if u wanna be safe why dont u run about 7 or 8 psi. Wat i would suggest though is to get either a FMU if money os low or some injectors and AFc. But i will give a plus for the double head gasket work!

Heheh.. I have you all beat.. I ran 10psi daily on my Y7/Y8 mini me with 450s and my V-AFC for 8months reliably until I took it all out and starting writing TurboEDIT.. :D :D :D

Disclaimer: I don't suggest this setup to anyone in the least... Although it was reliable for me, there is there potential for disaster. Higher than average compression, advanced ignition timing, boost.. sheesh. :D
