What is the highest PSI you can run on a stock evo9 motor?

On the stock/stock like turbo with headstuds it would still be safe around 28psi or so (as long as your AFR's are good and there is no knock!), with anything larger of a turbo, i wouldn't take it past 25-26psi. Although not a huge risk, there are a lot of people out there running 30 psi or so on the stock block with large turbos but most of them know there is still a risk they are taking. There is always going to be a greater chance of engine failure when running so much power on the stock internals.
For what it's worth, Al tuned my car to run at 20.5 psi. I don't have a MBC - just a custom tune. And I run 91 octane here in Cali. He assured me that this is a safe level, and I believe him. But I'd be nervous with anything higher.
