ST205 Increasing Boost To 17PSI..., I need help on what to do and expect on raising boost to 17psi Options

[veadp]

Hi, I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I need help on what to do and expect on raising boost to 17psi.

From my understanding, the stock computer/turbo/internals can handle up to 17-17.5psi.

Now, I was looking at buying an AEM Boost Controller, a Turbo Smart Fuel Cut Defender and put in a Down Pipe (I already have a 3" CAT Back Exhaust and an Intake).

So:
1. Will I need anything else?
2. What kind of Power Increase can I expect?
3. Will the car remain Reliable?

Kindly let me know. Thanks.

everyone stop with the power numbers for a moment so everyone gets on the same page here

Dyno figures - cant f*cking compare FWD and AWD damn it. There isn't a single person here who has an ST202 and an ST205, dyno run the ST205 and then swapped the turbo motor into the 202 and gone for another dyno run to be able to make any such comparison accurate to ~30HP.

In general, a stock ST205 (stock=turbo,injectors,management) will produce up to ~240HP on ALL FOUR WHEELS with some light mods and a healthy engine. This number is alot higher for FWDs.

So what's that at the engine? Forget about it. You cant go by someones guesstimate that well, the dyno corrected 240AWHP into 300BHP so maybe 220AWHP on another GT4 is about 280BHP. Rubbish, you cant draw a comparison on that worth sh*t, so forget engine horsepower and BHP.

Now re-read the title. it states that the OP is running an ST205 increasing the boost to 17PSI he wants to know what kind of power he will make.
The correct answer is up to 240AWHP. Nothing starting 3--. I know this for a fact, my tuned fuel map reaches 102% duty cycle in the sector where 300AWHP would have been made, which is around about 1.45bar or 21psi. Try that with your stock ST205.
