I wouldnt run over 8psi with the stock internals. I'd run 6 on a day to day basis myself.

Do you get any signs of boost creep? If not, 8 psi is good. Don't go any higher than 10 psi on stock internals! If you do creep, how high? Otherwise, 8 psi.
JL's recommendation is a good one too.

w/ a 20g turbo i wouldn't go any higher than 8lbs... thats a good sized turbo to be pushing 10lbs. a good rule of thumb for the 420as is not to go over 10psi but on a turbo as large as the 20g 8 sounds good. i'm curious about something though... you said you have what size injectors? 270cc's i don't believe is correct... and if so i don't think that would push 8lbs to be honest lol once you get a bottom end rebuild you will be good up to about 20lbs of boost before you need head work.

absolutly!....I wouldn't think you would be able to run 8lbs of boost with 270cc. What exactly are you running right now?
