safe to turn up the boost up?
#2
What octane gas do you have available in Guam? If it's 94+, I think you'll be all right at 7psi... but don't push more than that. You've got the timing down at 6* right? Your next 2 steps to turning up the boost are a timing management device (Bipes) and a fuel pump.
Somebody else can do the math, but w/ 12:1 and 1.8's I think you're probably pretty rich. What kind of mileage are you getting?

Given stock pump he is probably running like 330's so not alot of waste going on there. Mike the main deal breaker and motor breaker here is detonation if you do turn it up then drive it and listen carefully for abit to make sure that you aren't slamming little holes into your pistons. If it isn't knocking then the boost level is most likely fine for general use. There is no cut and dry formula for boost levels we can run just vague guide lines as you most likely have seen.

Get a fuel pressure gauge and squeeze the return line completely closed and that will tell you the max fuel pressure your stock pump is delivering. My car only had about 30K on it but my stock pump was not very strong at all. Walbro 190s really aren't very expensive and the install is surprisingly easy.
