You will not hit 200 WHP with only 9 PSI, unless you get a monster turbo that'll spool in 2 weeks. Why would you stop at 9 PSI? The turbo isn't even alive at that boost level. From 10 PSI up is when it starts to come alive and you really feel the pull. That "7A-FE cannot handle a lot of boost" myth is dead long time ago. I've proven that and so have a few other people. The engine will not throw a rod or destroy a piston or do other non-sense people have said in the past. As long as you don't lean out, the engine will take a beating. Mine has been alive and kicking since 2003, and other than a broken piston (injector problem, not engine weakness) and a blown headgasket (cheap fuel, not engine weakness) it's been fine. So you see, my two failures have been related to other factors, not the "weakness" of the engine. Those two things can happen to a built 2JZ-GTE or a 3S-GTE. No engine is resistant to those things. If your injector gets stuck open, you'll dump massive amounts of fuel in a cylinder, and fuel doesn't compress. Bye-bye piston ringland. Same with watered down 91 octane...it'll detonate on any engine. It will not discriminate. So boost away. If you break, it wasn't the engine's fault. It was yours.
