Re: What boost can you run on a stock EG33 motor?

I have. its called detonation. When you reach it and hold it. You will break it. So you tune to the edge of said detonation until you can tune it for peak torque on a dyno. So when I say that I have run a 12psi pulley and a 9psi pulley and have had made more power w/ more timing with the 9psi than w/ more boost and less timing on the 12psi pulley. That is your documentation. I have several data logs supporting this.
