23-24lbs of boost is all you want on the stock turbo. The stock clutches will take anything the stock turbo can throw at it as long as you drive it properly.

Gotta manage the throttle in 2nd gear. Ease into it, can't just mash it. I used to want to go bigger turbo, but now that I'm tuned I've changed my mind lol.
