Best Answer

As much as the waste gate is set at, size of the turbo, size and a/r of the turbine housing.

"How much you can run" depends on...

the strength of the engine(forged internals?)

compression ratio

if iron or alum. head

head gasket material/ head bolts or studs

Intercooled/alcohol injected

the octance fuel you are running

If it is a normally aspirated 3.8L, 7-8psi is the general safe boost level for stock engine.
