Id highly recomend uping your internals, you wont have to worry about overboosting/blowing your engine. I know that its the long way to go because you have to pull the engine and replace a lotta the stuff and wait to get the turbo but just think of the results. Otherwise id jst run 8 as a daily with stock internals. But like i was saying better internals=more boost. So its all up to you. Im also looking to turbo my KA but im gunna replace the internals first and try getting around 15 as a daily if anyone has any comments about how much i expect to get go ahead and hit me up because the more feedback i can get the better results i will have.
