10psi max just to be safe until you find out what all is on the car. You go any higher, you seriously risk blowing the motor very very quickly.

Oh yea, post a pic of your engine bay and we can take a look at it and tell you what we see...

I agree with Cgotto6. keep boost at a max of 10 psi or lower until you get the car checked out by a rotary tech. right now park the car and Read their is a lot of great info on the forum

One thing to also check on - in the pictures, the blue coupler from the top of the intercooler to the hardpipe only has one hose clamp on it. If it's still like that, fix that pronto - that's a huge boost leak that would cost you power.

BTW, .7 is stock boost. I'd find out more about your ECU, as it's likely upgraded to properly fuel more boost. Sometimes it's even written on the ECU itself.
