Titan Motorsports, HKS, Greddy...they all have proven themselves in racing, they all will most likely be just as good as another, but the prep work on the head and block are what's REALLY important.

i installed a new toyota dealer gasket in my rig when i first got it 2 yrs ago... i was poor at the time and wasnt planning on running alot of boost. i just bought the car and it had a bhg and i just wanted to make it run first. anyways i run 12 psi all day on the stock gasket for the last 2 years, no worries yet. probably will blow once i hit 15 psi but thats ok w. me i want to redo it all and port and polish the head this time around anyways..

how much boost will the stick ingine handle, with a better HG of course.

hmmm... I forgot, but the stock turbo will only push 15psi if I remember right. That's good for over 300hp at the wheels....

15 psi stock? i heard somewhere it was only 6.8, or is that with upgrades in the stock housing?
