Can I turn up the boost?

Can I turn up the boost to 19 PSI with the stock fuel injectors and stock turbo?

I'm running the WORKS P2 reflash with 19 PSI of boost. Runs great!

19psi is completely safe... more than 22-23.. thats where you have to start worrying about

I run 20psi on my stocker. Now it feels like an evo. The car runs pretty rich out the box. So leaning it out by raising boost a little is no problem.

dang i need to turn into an evolved member soon. activate super posting mode.

19-21 is safe , though if you go above 19 you'd probably be leaking boost on the stock bov , 22-24 is still technically safe.... but it is not good for your engine or turbo , therefor lessening the life of both..... i would not risk it , keep it highest 21 psi with stock internals

Tuned @ 24 then drops off up top. At higher elevation we can run more boost to compensate for the less oxegen. So at lower elev. I'd be around 20-22 lbs.
