Whatever, this is a dumb thread.
The quality of the kit has pretty much nothing to do with the amount of boost you can run. That is mostly the tune and fuel. 9psi on 93 being the most without causing damage is not true either. Many many people are running 12psi or so, several 16psi+, and at least one (myself) have run 22psi without breaking anything at all.
