[mcav209]

So check it out. 07 ms3 ssqv hks bov, injen cai, turboxs down pipe and race pipe, ATP fmic.
Wonderin what would be a good safe amount to up my boost to?

im thinking with your downpipe you're boosting higher than stock already

I would have to agree with the above.

Also agree with above. With dp/rp OP should be seeing about two psi more boost. Hope he has a boost gauge or will get one if he mods.

As to "uppin" boost, 18 psi sustained on the K04 is about all it will handle before turning into a pure furnace just making heat, no more power, and roasting its tiny and frail center shaft to failure.

Keep sustaned boost to no more than 18, with maybe occasional quick peak to 19, but not at more than 6,000 rpm, or join the zoom, zoom, boom club.
