I really want to up my boost on my S14 so I would love to know what is safe boost for my T25 turbo? I want to get the most out of it without seriously damaging the turbo. Would 12psi be good or can I still push for more? And also, what are the 3 MOST important gauges that I will need to monitor my engine once I up my boost. It's because I can only afford 3 gauges for now so please help me. :aw:

boost, water temp, oil pressure. maybe EGT instead of water temp your choice

Turbo is a T28. 12psi is about right pending you've covered the typical bolt ons already - downpipe, catback, intake, fuel pump and filter, etc. I'd do an FMIC aswell.

it may be a 180sx blacktop with a t25. im running 12psi right now on my t25, no bov, and it's running cute.

for the gauges, i'd get boost, oil pressure, and water temp.

just boost it up to 10 psi at the most if its a t25 then get your motor tune.
