On stock internals, from what i've heard, 10 psi is the absolute limit. My kit is goin on in a few weeks, and i'll be running 7-8 just to be safe, no need to go around throwing rods =P Good luck with your install!!!!

sounds like you need to do some more research before you go turbo

i'm curious... as far as "gut" goes... did you port it? smash out the cat? what exactly did you do. sooner rather than later you will probably end up throwing P0421.

He probably just hollowed the cat out. Porting a stock header is no easy task. But if you wanted to remove the cat all you need is a hammer and a metal rod to break it up.
