on the old school turbo legacys i know they run at 8.7psi, how much psi can i still be safe with if i want to turn it up? thats considering the engine is working good and rebuilt

On an SVX or Legacy? I have heard people going to 12psi before encountring issues. Most stop at 9 on stock internals as far as i know.

legacy, so basicly if i run 10-11 psi i should be good.... and my friend had 15 psi but his headgasket blew

Yeah..uhh no.

Edwin and BACS2.5 had something like 22PSI on the stock longblock of an EJ22T. They're closed deck and can take a crapload of pressure.

Something Something intercooler something..

11-12 should be fine on good gas.

True, Phil had a monster FMIC.

ok i will keep that in mind, also is a sti top mount intercooler or a wrx top mount better?? or they the same? and does it really improve effeciency if i put a i/c spray on there like the sti's have?

If you really want a top mount, the STi one is better. However, a Front Mount is the best bet, but you have to hack up the bumper to put it in.

Don't run higher than like 9-10 psi without an intercooler. WRX intercoolers won't fit, turbo forester intercoolers will, or you can use the JDM air-water IC, or pipe in a front mount.

i will say that with the coffie cup mod and 12 psi my friend put down 220 hp at the wheels in his sedan, but i wouldn't shoot for that without an intercooler.
