How high can you run the stock sequentials without affecting their life span?

if you have all the right mods you can go higher, I ran about 14-16psi, with an occasional spirited 18psi

I'm leaning around 12~13 psi. Higher than that and the turbo's will work their *** off....which of course shortens their life substantially.



Just go single turbo and be done with it.

Humm.. 12psi.. so, is there any point to run a single turbo if you're going to stay at 12psi or under? (sorry that was off-subject)

Thank you!!! thats what I keep telling people!! 12psi is 12 psi I dont care if you blow it through a straw or a leaf blower!! I like the sequential setup because you dont have the lag from the single.. the twins are more responsive. I'd only go single if I had atleast 850s all around, atleast a street port and some 3mm seals then I'd boost that **** to 17psi and let it rip. (obviously you'd need a fuel map for your ecu with this setup you'll need more fuel )
