12psi on CA18DET

[A790]

Am I correct with the belief that the stock CA18DET can handle 12 psi on a stock turbo?

easily, chris's car was running with 13ish when it came over here and he drove it around daily for a couple of weeks

Lesson learned...don't run 15psi!

15 psi is all good. Nothing to do with headgasket issues that is other things unrelated. 15 psi on the stock turbo is the max you want to push on the T25 you can have them make more but its wayyyyy inefficient.

I'm only upping the boost because of the size of the intercooler I got (booost is just begging to be shoved through that thing). I'm thinking 12psi on a stock fuel system is safe until I get my next stage of upgrades

15psi is safe on stock fuel and mafs is aok. you can do it all day long with no issues. the mafs and injectors will max out closer to 260whp so dont worry too much.
