    lolol, from a GT42R turbo??? or a T25??




    how about, lets try... instead of ''pounds'', how about ''horsepower'' instead??



    anywhere from 200 - 220 i'd say, VERY safely.

    A stock LS should safely hold 8 pounds on a AVERAGE sized turbo. And I've seen them STOCK on 8 pounds making 245whp, it blew in 2 years. Driving it hard as fuck.

    the more money you spend on tune the more boost you can handle. i'v seen stock ls on 18psi making close too 300+whp. i would stay nice and low with 8 pound if your not stacking incase motor blow

    Every motor is going to vary, there is no number. That's the chance you when boosting it.

    you would be better to convert to obd1 and tune. hp wise 100-120whp over stock and it should be very reliable...210-230whp total as long as it's healthy. that can be anywhere from 6-10psi depending on turbo.
