    What is the maximum boost one can get from stock turbo set up on Z32
    And how does one go about setting that up ?
    All so a good boost controller, that's easy to use ?

    Dont quote me i think they max at 22/24psi? Wouldn't last long on that without support (injectors and a tune minimum ) most people go to 14-12 with just a boost controler

    Mines stock with a boost controller and I run a max psi of about 12. If I go over 14 the car really doesn't like it so I suggest don't go over 12. Assuming your car is healthy of course.

    Very wise to make sure everything else is good before increasing boost. (Do a boost leak test too. You'll be surprised at how many cars out there have a boost leak)

    We'll alot of people will say you should tune it if you increase it even slightly. Which yes they are correct.
    Running 12psi I haven't got it tuned.

    Anything over that like 14 then yeah you really should.
    I think our Stock injectors max out efficency at 16?

    Do you know what kind of boost controller you want?

    12psi seems safe. Around 14psi they start to run a little lean.

    If you have Nistune or other aftermarket ECU you can tune the car to run safely at 18psi or thereabouts.

    The easiest and cheapest way is using a manual boost controller and a boost gauge.
