    Lets see here, you drive around normally, not in boost... So if the boost was set at 10,000psi would it matter? Since you're not driving like a douche the whole time in the first place, does it matter? Do you really think he's driving around with his boost gauge on 15psi the entire time? Ummmmmm, no... he's not. 15psi is a cake walk for these motors, i'd do it non-i/c'd, turbo's are a different walk of life. My m90 car runs 15+psi on a Gen V 2.8 setup, has nothing compared to the turbo car on 10psi. Turbo's FTMFW.

    15-18psi is about the range most run for daily driving on pump gas. Your going to play around with it at least once everyday, at that level your looking for traction anyway, so there is no point in going 20+psi on streets. You also have to realize there is more chance of something going wrong, like losing fuel pressure or oil pressure if driven everyday, so you want to play it safe that way also, handicap yourself a bit by lowering the boost when daily driving.

    I've been daily driving on a i/c E85 setup on 12psi for almost a year now and just recently the stock trans at 100k is starting to slip on me bad... I already have a built transmission waiting to go in.
