Question about upping boost in a R33

[BLK R33 GTST]

Hi Guys

Will the standard ECU in a 95 R33 allow to me run higher boost if i install a boost controller? i want to run about 12psi through a standard turbo, intercooler an ECU. what do you think, is this safe? Or should i upgrade my cooler and ECU before i start upping the boost. i already have a 3inch turbo back exhaust and pod filter

that will be fine

im currently running 12psi with standard ecu/intercooler no dramas

are you using an boost controller? if so which one, are this easy to install yourself?

Turbosmart Bleed valve $90 easy to install.

Just dont be flogging your car for long periods of time on hot day's with the stock intercooler.

IF budget allows get the Intercooler as quick as you can..

my car was in all sorts on tues / wed when it was up around 40 deg, i have stock turbo, cooler, ecu, and yeah she wasn't liking anymore then about 4-5psi, yeah she was shuddering, shaking, and stuttering, so i stopped boosting, but once the cold front hit, boy was boost nice, 12psi is fairly safe, would luv a cooler though, especially for summer

hmm strange i have no problems with heat on stock 7psi with stock cooler ecu and turbo, even when the inlet temp is like near 60 degrees its still fine a slight delay of about a 1 sec while the hot air escapes at takeoff but deff no shutter or shaking

i agree with paulr33, mine never had any problems last summer when there were hot days on stock cooler, ecu and turbo. I have only changed the intercooler out of the three since, and, my opinion BLK R33 GTST is that if you can save up or if you have the money get a front mount. It will run 12psi a sh#tload better than the stock unit.
