Message	my z is setup with jets that are calibrated to run 16 psi. i have stock turbos and injectors, jwt ecu, and run 93 octane. is it okay to occasionally boost up to this level with my setup until i get an ebc (coming soon)? i hit full boost by 3500 rpms so the z reaches 16psi rather quickly. i usually end up shifting right at 4200 rpms because i don't feel comfortable going any higher at this boost level. i do NOT hearing pinging or detonation. ps. i do know jwt recommends 13-15 psi at stage 3. but then again, they make the tune super rich. again, i'm not detonating at 16 right now.
