I was just curious as to what boost levels the turboed Contours are running on this site with stock internals?? I have heard all kind of numbers for what people say are safe on our motors and was just wondering what people are actually running. At this point I am just on a mere 5psi and figured that would be a safe place to have it on the street until I found out what others are at.

I think i would keep it right about 5 psi with no intercooler, AZ heat, and no tune. I would think you could put down about 220-230 whp with that 5 psi after a tune.

Flagstaff,AZ to be exact where we have snow in the winter, and sometimes alot of it! Right now its 72degrees here and it doesn't get nearly up into the numbers that the valley does. Also I am going to get it down to AZ Dyno Chip for tuning and a chip hopefully early next month. I have made a heat shield for the filter it was just put on after those pics were taken, so again the heat thing isnt too bad, and I hope to have my FMIC on by mid July, and dont worry I will make it fit You havent seen the inside pics of the car, I have no problems cutting and chopping
