Boost Level

Okay, hopefully this is an advanced level question. I will soon have a TBE exhaust in place as well as a factory gauge kit. My quesiton is, I will also be putting in an APEXi AVC-R. What boost level will be safe to run on 91 octane gas? And whats a safe level to turn it up to at the track when I go? I'm just wondering these until I have the time/money to get my car flashed/tuned.

once you have TBE you can safley boost about 21PSI...u can probably do a little more but I wouldnt considering you're on 91 and u have no engine management (like a flash) yet

Thank you for the response. What is the stock boost level at? Because thats what I will run on the street, and then when I go to the track I will turn it up to whatever is safe (please tell me w/ 100 oct.)

Cool, thanks. Hopefully it won't last too long. I hope to get a flash or tune as soon as I have some extra time and money. But when I go to the track for now after the parts go in, I will want to run some good times and still do it safely.

I think this question would get more response in the Evo/Engine/Turbo forum. And it really is not an advanced topic. Moving to that forum. Thanks.
