Will my engine be able to handle 10 psi of boost ? If not why ?

 

There's someone running 12 psi on stock block. Paul dezod will know more about it. The dezod kit comes tuned at 9 psi so 10 psi won't be a problem as long as the tune is right.

 

Depends on the size of the turbo for starters, too many variables to be able to say for sure without knowing more about your plans.

 

I am going to purchase the p tuning turbo kit

 

Yes it should be able to handle 10 psi, but as hooded said you will need a good tune, or it won't be handling it for long, any boosted car is only as reliable as the tune you put into it.

 

AMEN! We have been boosting this platform for sometime now at good power levels and they hold just fine.

Here are a few of our kits dyno'd all on stock engines.

 

Speaking of a good tune. What are some of the key things I should be looking as the tech does it to make sure it is a good tune? I have found 1-2 places I feel comfortable with, but I have no idea what they are ACTUALLY doing when they are tuning it.

 

Adjusting air to fuel ratio and spark
