personally i thought stock boost was about 7-8 psi. Didnt think std set up could handle much more than 10psi.
Nah... mine is the MY94 which came with TD05 turbo running at 11.7psi stock... the MY96 onwards ran the TD04 which runs ~14psi... And mine is now running 18psi anywya...
I know of people who have run the TD04's at 20psi with no problems for over 2 years!!
So i dont think you'll have too many drama's upping it a little... although 20psi is probably a bit much if you dont want it to break!.. I think his was a bit of a freak in that respect!...
