I am unsure on that also, but 8 psi or right around it is essentially stock boost on pretty much every car I can think of, surely you'd think a build motor could handle a little more than that. I ran 12 to 15 on my RB25 for a while, eventually that destroyed the turbo lol but the motor was good, and it was stock with worse 9:1 compression... So I wouldn't think 16 psi is out of the question, but these are a different kind of animal. What do built EJs normally run?

I was planning to do all of the things you mentioned anyway except sleaving, and the closed deck cause I haven't heard of anyone that will do it for us.

I'm sure Tom is already annoyed with me, but I'd like to make good friends with him over the next year lol. I'll ask him, but going to a completely different valve set up and losing my non interferance saftey net are not things I want to do.
