I did'nt increase boost until I got an intercooler and pettit ecu in that order
After those upgrades I run consistant 13.5 lbs boost never a problem
You must run the best fuel,colder plugs and keep your car maintained.
I set my boost for 13.5 and at the top end of the 1/4 its pushing 14 for a short time
The ecu will deliver fuel for 14.5 lbs however the injectors are about done @14lbs but you can get
away with it 1/4 mile at a time not a wide open run for 1/2 mile or so
Keep in mind this is with stock eng/turbos/injectors but with just about every bolt on you can get
I am now at the limit 116 trap speed with the setup i have

I had your mod list (basically) for a while...ran 13lbs of boost with a gforce ecu.
my newly rebuilt stock(also known as junk) turbos lasted less than 5k with another rebuild(junk squared) lasting about the same.
no intercooler upgrade...haha..you should have seen my turbo wheels. they were melted and chipped from brittle heat damage. so I was getting more power until my turbos melted. lol this led to the second problem below.
then I went thru another motor (cooked a side seal) because I was fool enuff not to have a real temperature guage and appropriate cooling mods..and because my turbos were a friggen hothouse from all the boost.
all in all Im about 8500 bucks deep in retarded repairs....the blown motor was less than a year old and was strong as hell...the turbos were rebuilt twice.
be addicted to power foo...and be like me...wishing Id have put that 8500 bucks into a sweet farking paintjob and an intercooler.
lessson learned in my department. No longer run that stock set and am tip toe until my intercooler is ordered and installed. dtiched the gforce for the pfc as well...
have you seen the commercial for the xbox where the pregant chick launches a baby out like a missile and the baby ages until a teen..then a man..then an old man...the whole time blasting across the sky and thru the atmosphere...wanna know what happens at the end...the old mans body zooms right into the a fresh grave busting it to pieces. ...well that soaring body......thats your car. lol
enjoy.
