Need to know if my boost levels are safe

I`m planning on doing a 2.5 pulley with the zzp heat exchanger and the AIS stage 1 trunk mount meth kit. Will my boost levels be safe? I just need to know what is going to break on my engine with about 20-21 psi.

Not sure about the SS/SC, but I'm pushing 22 PSI on my TC and it's fine. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I'm sure someone will. gl

correct
avoid knock at ALL costs (run an unusually safe tune...nothing too ridiculous, but dont run it on the edge) and you'll be fine

That is going to be a hot setup so take the advice. Make sure you never run out of meth, it's going to keep you cool more than any of that other stuff.

As far as whats going to blow, with that boost you should be fine but if you get a bad tune say by to the piston ringlans. I would shoot for just over 11:1. Don't creep up near 12's

Just be sure the tune is PERFECT and watch your temps (IAT2 and EGT) And you should be fine
