If you pierce your lip at home can you parilize your lip?

It won't parilize your lip but if you hit a vein it can cause a lot of bleeding nd then the lip will have to be re done..also if u do it at home do it with a 16g hollow needle and use a 18gauge stud or ring....I have tryed mine at home before with a sewing needle then tried to put the jewelery in after I was done....the hole was not big enough and I could not get it in!

How much psi can a big 16g turbo push?

Actually a genuine 16g turbo (not those cheap Ebay knock off turbos) can run a lot more boost than 19psi. Hell a 16g is just starting to hit its efficiency range around that 20 psi range. I've seen plenty of car run over 30 psi on a 16g! Trust me run 18 psi on one and the turbo's kick is so-so.... crank it up to 25 and that turbo will kick like a horse!!
