Ok so i want to buy a complete turbo kit. The kit includes everything i need for the swap. The turbo is a ct26 with a front mount intercooler. Now my question is to you people, how much psi can the 5sfe withstand without detonation? I dont want to push it to the limit, but i want to make sure that i can run the 5sfe safetly at higher psi. The psi i am thinking of is maybe 10-14? if that is to high let me know. Thanks.

QUOTE i once heard presure2 telling me that the 5sfe is good for up to 19psi but i'll NVR recommend anyone to try that. vin, you NEVER heard me tell you that. EVER. any celica pre 98 without a metal headgasket id recomend keeping it under 10psi, more like 7-8...with the metal headgasket, you can run a "little" more.. i've been running 10-12psi on my 98 motor for 7+ months daily driven..knock on wood, no major problems yet, but not to say i dont EXPECT somthing to happen at some point.. its pretty much a given, at some point if you turbo your car, your gonna break SOMTHING. thats just how it works
