Default safe boost level?

hiya people

just wondering how much boost a stock turbo can take in a my01?

make sure you ask your tuner what boost he tuned it for.
And im not just talking about Kaboom in terms of your turbo, engine Kaboom aswell.

Excuse for a EJ207 maybe?

Perhaps the boost gauge is slightly inaccurate?

Spikes in cold weather?
