Hey guys, pick up my GTR next week, and i am wondering what is a safe level of boost to run on stock turbos, with and exhaust, FMIC and HKS EVC4 boost controller, coz the last thing i want is to hurt it, its too pretty

no more than 1bar/14psi.

And make sure your EVC 4 is working OK. Mine had a leaky hose that meant I was running maximum boost. I was lucky I didn't break anything before I got it to the dyno shop.

Ask the dyno shop to check that it's set up right. Once you know the settings are right, lock 'em. Note any offsets and settings. I've found (twice) that punching buttons in traffic has put me into the setup menu and I've lost settings. It's a pain.

If it's an import, or you are unsure of its service history, make sure that you replace ALL fluids and get the dyno people to check it over. It's cheap insurance for your pride and joy.
