Default Max psi?

I have pretty much finished installing my EBC and FCD and i was wondering is anyone would know how far i could push my turbo, its the stock one of a '97 wrx.

I have also got a full 3" ss exaust from the turbo back if that makes any difference, other than that the car is still stock standard.

cheers,
-Trizo.

I think 16psi would be about it
It will be fine on a standard ecu.

As been said. Dont just wack an EBC on and "boost it up mmmmm88888!" The $1000 tune will become a $3000 new engine.
