you could probably make 30psi if you wire the wastegate shut!

with a power fc/autronic ecu fitted and tuned, you should safely see 18psi and around 180kw atw

assuming you are running stock ej205 engine

You should probably look at getting it tuned to suit. Via a Power FC with a z32 AFM or something similar.

Id run 20psi of boost.

But dont even think of leaning on the throttle until you've had it tuned.

I have similar mods to you with a VF23, tuned with power fc, and I'm running 19psi.
