I'm not an expert but if it were me I wouldn't go more than an additional 4-5 psi without doing some more engine work... but like I said I'm not an expert.

Like sentinel said, I'm not expert, but I hear fuel cut happens after 21psi. I think 21psi is the limit till you upgrade the fuel pump.

i am running stock and i am unwilling to push it past 21psi (1.5bars). i've been at 21psi for about 2 weeks now (daily driver) and everything seems to be just fine.

the guys here in CO say they run up to 23psi (stock or close to it), but i'm too chicken to do that to my engine.
