safe boost
 

i just recently purchased a boost controller. I already have a giac chip and i was wondering what would be a safe amount of boost to run without any worrys with blowing the turbo, or causing any other problems.

stay below 20

ok, now this is for the ko3, and i have a ko4 thats on the way actually should i still keep it below 20 when i put that in?

well keep it at what your tuning calls for. becuase if you chip is written for only 15 psi and you crank it up to 20 you will run lean and blow your motor. so you only turn the boost up when you can turn your fuel up and match it safetly

yea never a good idea to up the boost with out addin fuel as well man, mbc's can be bad if you give it too much boost and make your engine go tits up, and even with a k04 you still wana run whatever the p-16 file calls for, cuz the k04 doesnt really push a bunch more boost than the k03 its just a way more efficient turbo so it makes more air move at the same rpms and psi as a k03
