AP boost levels?

Im running a cobb tbe right now and I am considering an accessport with protune. I was just wondering what the maximum boost i could see out of that setup with stock turbo.

Would a boost controler after the ap be benificial?

Would (say 18 to 20 lbs) require new pump and injectors?

Would 18 to 20 lbs be safe?

thanks...

the basic cal stage 2 map runs at 17.5 psi. I think ( don't know for sure ) that 18 psi from a protune should be safe.

I think the TD04 loses effeciency about 16-17psi.

Probably, I would not run over 17psi on the stock turbo or stock engine for that matter.

Maybe for a little while, but not likely.
