Im about to drop in a s14 sr and im going the ARC side mount route and was wondering what kind of boost pressure it can handle? I hear a bunch a different numbers ranging 14 psi to 20psi. Any ideas?

Its still a side mount...I wouldnt wanna push it pass 10 psi during the summer when its hot.

Never heard anyone talk about the PSI for them. When I had mine it was good at about 10. The common consensus is that they are good about 300hp.

psi isnt the problem for them, heat dissipation is. Im sure u can boost it up to 50 psi, but im sure it wont be as effective after after running it for so long.

I was hoping to be around 250 whp with this side mount is that possible?

I'd just make sure you run the ducting for the side mount, when I had the OEM side mount on my car, the ducting made a huge difference on the intercooler temp.

As long as you have air being properly routed to it, I'm sure you will be fine.

Thats good to hear, too bad i dont have the original ducting but i'll probably fab something instead. thanks!
