You will damage the engine with that much boost. Most factory turbos only have 7 to 8 pounds of boost.































To handle that boost you will need lower compression pistons to stop engine knocks, and multiple gas explosions when the piston is being forced up by the cam shaft.































Then you will need an after market air cooler. The higher the turbo boost the higher the temprature of the boosted air. Hot air is an enemy of performance. Even factory Ford turbos have an air intercooler.































The suspension will need upgrading to handle the extra power and stress.































Thje brakes will need upgrading. They will wear out faster and there is brake fading. After hard work they loose effieceny and do not work as well. You need to worry about your 60 to 0 times more than your 0 to 60 times. Or you will have alot of crashes and some will be serious!































Then you will need to worry about upgrading the transmission to handle the power.































































Save your self all these problems by limiting the boost to 10 pounds or less. You will still need an air cooler.































Get a K&N Air Filter Cold Air Kit, it will give you an instant horsepower and torque gains. A better exhaust system and aftermarket chip will give good horsepower and torque gains.
