Ohh boy.

If you're untuned, don't turn the boost up. If you have a tuner, he or she will tell you what to turn it to. Usually not more than 23 PSI with stock turbo, no meth, 93 pump.

you can turn it up to 25psi, just see how high before you car knocks. 23psi is conservative, 25psi would be a good.

True..I am holding 23-24 with a mid 25's spike and zero knock on 93 octane. It depends on the tune.

I just got retuned this weekend by 4WS. I'm currently running 25psi but I have the mods to support it. If you are looking to turn up the boost without a tune I wouldnt do it. If you must do so then I would do no more than 20 psi.

If you are getting tuned and just need to know the max boost with no mods you need to just shoot for as much as you can with no knock.
