   Must be some top quality material at £300. I'd say 1.5

   I doubt the kit will stay at £300 for long tbh
   
   And to answer the question, the boost you can run unforged completely depends on the size of the turbo and the mapping, if you use a cheap ecu and have a crap map then your probably looking at about 5psi, but if you run a good standalone ecu and have it mapped well, there shouldn't be any problems running 9-10 psi on a thicker headgasket

    I have found everything to turbo my Vts except what boost pipes, oil feed/return, dump valve kit and any other gauges other than a boost gauge? Cheers
