boost pressure does not matter at all. 300-350 hp with a great tune is as far as id push it.

i would not be worried about what it can handle at this point. dont get all worried about that. the first thing you need to worry about is getting a turbo kit. if you are getting an ebay turbo kit. the question is not how much your engine can handle, it is how reliable that turbo kit is going to be at high boost/hp applications. you should be able to get 300 whp pretty easily and reliable with the right precautions

Some Ebay turbo kits are decent, the only thing i've really seen is a shitty turbo mani and small ass intercooler piping.

A good solid turbo kit combined with good fueling and a good tune make a world of difference.

Rod bolts on all LS's are the weak points. 300whp safely w/ aftermarket head studs, rod bolts, hg and a really good tune. Never cut corners on your tune. -Josh.
