Default Safe Boost and Rough Power Levels

If I was to run roughly 13-14 PSI through my stock turbo would that be safe for daily driving while maintaining reliability. Also what would the power outputs be roughly?

Depends on how you plan on achieving that boost. A chip is the most reliable/make sense way. If your thinking boost controler-forget it.

CHIP > MBC.
The only other way really to up the boost is a MBC or a EBC and they don't add the extra fuel or ignition timing to safely run the extra boost.

Chips will normally run in the 200hp range, thats CHP.

the apr chip peaks your k03 at 17.4psi very reliably. new n75 valve will give a little raise too, but i wouldn't recomend it till other mods are done. i'm looking for the right n75 to compliment my other mods right now.

I thought the APR chip peaks the boost at 14.7 not 17.4?
