you do realize on what kind of turbo and what kind of fuel management it is being ran on that will determine the amount of boost it can run.

the better question would be, how much horsepower can a stock b18a run reliably with a t3 .60 trim and crome.

then an more precise answer would be, about 300whp. anything more can blow the rods.
