and its not how much psi the motor can hold.......its how much horsepower AND psi can it hold.....they say the stock intake manifold can hold only 16.......but me and another guy are about to prove that wrong.....they also say 350hp on stock internals........a few people have proven that wrong.....it all depends on how good your tune is.

I would never run more then 7 psi stock motor!

Thats what the supercharger puts out! Motor probably cant hold more then that with out a flux capacitor installed!

got to keep in mind about volume. 10psi on a given turbo may contane more air than another turbo at 10psi. so in that case it comes down to turbo size and tune. rather then just psi. but in most cases yes 10psi is ok

very very true....all about cfm

10psi ona 16g isnt the same as 10psi on gt35r....huge diff in volume of air

I have been pushing around 16 to 17 PSI and doing that almost every day just playing around with the ricers around town. But that is also in the WRX, with the tC I dont think I have been pushing more than 10 though with an SC.

do it...thats what i want to run when i get my greddy kit on. 8psi low boost 10-11psi high boost. should probably be a little above 300whp on 10psi so it should be good

yea the whole 16 psi on stock intake manifold was a retarded assumption.....im still waiting on funds for a 3 inch exhaust then im tuning till my clutch cant hold anymore....and to the op.....10 psi on a 18g and youll be fine.
