Ok so i want to buy a complete turbo kit. The kit includes everything i need for the swap. The turbo is a ct26 with a front mount intercooler. Now my question is to you people, how much psi can the 5sfe withstand without detonation? I dont want to push it to the limit, but i want to make sure that i can run the 5sfe safetly at higher psi. The psi i am thinking of is maybe 10-14? if that is to high let me know. Thanks.

any info on where you're gonna buy your kit? cause like lagos said.. ebay complete turbo kits are NOWHERE near complete. look at presure2 or my kit. that's complete. well if you have a old motor like me.. i wouldn't recommend you to boost over 7psi which is the stock wastegate setting.. although i went 12psi once lol.. i once heard presure2 telling me that the 5sfe is good for up to 19psi but i'll NVR recommend anyone to try that. but anyway.. if you have a fresh motor, takes good care of it and know wat you're doing.. boosting at 10 once in awhile is fine.. like presure2. he did 15psi on the track once. he have a fresh motor and of course metal head gasket.
