i got my 97 eclipse gst about a month ago, i didnt really drive it too hard till last week and i was boosting around 15 psi, it has like a turbo swap or something cuz the turbo says tdo5h and i think thats 14b if im not mistaken, but my friend said that 15 was way to high for a stock engine with no upgrades, so he tuned it to around 8-9 psi, is that the stock setting?

10-12 is stock. But you can run 15PSI on that without anything.

tdo5h is only the housing identification. However a 16g uses the same housing as a 14b. So it could be either. And 15psi is fine for stock, however not knowing what turbo you have right now i would stick to about 12psi
