R33 boost levels

[pmgrz2]

I have recently decided to get my car tuned and was just wanted to get some feedback off you guys in regards to how much boost you run. (preffibly from those guys running similar mods to my own).

Its an r33 gts-t, stock turbo, fmic, eboost cont, hks air filter (with cold air intake), SAFC2, 3' exhaust all the way.

Car is about to reach 100,000km.

I've told the tuner id like the turbo to last for quite abit longer, so hes suggested to tune it at 12psi. Personally ive never boosted the car more than 10psi, but he has assured me 12 to be safe in most cases.

Just wondering how many of you run this on a daily basis, and if you've had any problems?

i have be running 12 psi for ages now and iv go more than a 100,000kms on the clock, so you will be fine as long as the guy doing the tuning on the SAFC is any good

0.8 bar was enough to make mine turbo go pop - but that was after a years worth of driving with 270rwhp.

also wondering how signficant the power increase from 10 to 12psi would be, as in woudl it even be worth taking the risk?

If it was me personally id have it set at 10psi all day everyday and then the option to bump it up to 12psi for drags etc (ie; short periods of time).
