Hello all,

I was wondering how much boost a stock B230FT can safely handle?

Also, would i need to install larger injectors if i up the boost?

that engine will take about 14 psi of boost maximum before you start running into problems, then the cost goes up incredibly after that.

anything over 14 psi you will certainly have to have new injectors, a new ecu, new turbo, exhaust manifold, intercooler, wastegate, dump valve all up-sized to take the extra strain, let alone cam shaft, bottom end re-work, clutch, gearbox.

i refer you to this post with someone else with a similar question. Here.
