    Mid 10ks on LQ4 MAF right now.

    I am totally caught up in boost numbers. I need to know that running 14-15PSI while seeing 16-18* timing with 0KR is perfectly safe. It will put my mind at ease knowing that these numbers are ok with my current build. Please understand.

    I have never boosted this high and I am entering unexplored territory with my build. I want to be sure these numbers are perfectly safe if I am seeing 0 KR before I start pushing further on. I was raised on the thought that as long as you are seeing 0KR all is good, but I dont know anyone that is boosting over 12PSI personally. The idea terrifies me.

    Frosty, i watched your vid and saw 16s and blips of 17PSI! THAT IS INSANE TO ME. Is everyone else boosting this high and I am just out of the loop on this? I always thought 9-11psi was best. Please put my worries to rest. Thank you

    I literally just went outside and unhooked my boost gauge. Stop looking at boost.
