ok, about a year ago i turboed my 99 SI with a customer kit so i got a small T3 turbo and blah blah blah, so i ended up upgrading to a t3/t3 .48/.54 and i got the A-AFC and some DSM 450cc injectors for fuel management, who out there knows how much boost the car's stock internals can handle with the S-AFC?

alot of turbo kits out there come out of the box at like 6psi or 8 psi...Stock internals is the key word in your case, I have heard that stock internals can take 10psi for a supercharger but I have heard that a turbo is a little harsher and I would say I wouldnt go past 8 psi, but I would run at 6psi till you built up your engine

unless you run a tuneable ecu like a hondata or aem ems, id keep it below 7 psi.
