Can a turbo
just because they pull out 260whp doesnt mean its perfectly safe.
Hell, i've been at the 300whp mark for awhile now, and ***** starting to go wrong....so its not "perfectly safe", but it held up good for months.
To the OP, yes. 6psi can infact blow a motor. Depending on how big the turbo is. Ya, it might take a few grand to spool, then boom.
As for the other posters, and to the OP. a GT28RS on a 2.4 provides instant boost.
Regardless, good luck. But you can push a PROPERLY sized turbo to about 8psi without having to worry about blowing the motor, as most motors are pressure tested during manufacturing to about 10psi.

Well i've been running 9 psi on a bone stock 2.2l engine with a good size turbo and i haven't blew up YET, i doubt i go much more on stock internals but now my clutch is slipping so that's obviously the first week spot... I plan to find out at some point how far i can go...
if you blow up your car on 6psi and it is not some ridiculous sizes turbo you are doing something wrong. hell even if it is some ridiculous sized turbo. at 6psi you wont even need an intercooler! if yuor af ratio is good and ignition timing is good then it will be fine. I ran 20 psi on a stock car that had all cast components before.
Like everyone is saying, it depends on what turbo you will run. I recommand the gt2860rs. That's what I have been running on 10 psi for ~6 months and 20 passes at the track and zero down time.
