I personally ran 14ish PSI at full boost and 12~13 nearer towards redline. My personal AFRs reached 12.2 at the leanest near redline. If you don't have a front mount I wouldn't push the car much above 9~10 PSI.

However results may vary as I have some people get extremely lean at 11 PSI. Please get a wideband but by all means turn up the boost and have some fun.
